Prospects and Vision
Major of Biosciences
Biosciences is not only the study of basic natural science that seeks to understand the nature of life by exploring and understanding life phenomena, but also has applied characteristics that provide the driving force for the development of closed applied fields of medicine, pharmacy, agriculture and biotechnology. Therefore, considering that the development of biosciences is an essential element of the development of life industry, the importance of the bioindustry sector is more important than ever as the new driving force of national economic development in the 21st century, and biotechnology is predicted to provide solutions to human problems, such as food problems, intractable diseases and disorders, and environmental problems, the social demand of professionals in the biosciences sector is expected to continue to increase when take it to consider that the development of biosciences is essential to the realization of a “Bio society” that provides “Healthy Life”, “Abundant Life” and “Clean Environment”.
Major of Bioinformatics
As the genetic information (genome) of various organisms are revealed, including humans, yeast, baby poles, rice, and nematodes, the life sciences of the 21st century entered the so-called "Post Genome" era. Genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and systems biology, which analyze and study life phenomena at the entire organism from the single gene level, are emerging as key research areas. In this field of holistic life science, the introduction and development of bioinformatics is absolute, that is a new field of collecting, analyzing and visualizing a large amount of biological data using IT technology, Social demand for professionals in the field of bioinformatics with biosciences expertise and computer-aided information processing, is expected to increase exponentially with the development of adjacent applied biotechnology such as medicine, pharmacy and environment as well as pure research
