Brief Introduction

Medical biology is the study of life and the foundation of allscientific principles and designed for all medical students who are pursuing a degreein medicine. Through class interactions, students will learn the structure andfunction of organisms at different levels such as molecular and cellular levelsand finally comprehend the organisms. Using lab practices and introducing newresearch findings, we can enhance students’ academic knowledge and utilize itto the maximum in an effort to expand their knowledge of biological theories. Atthe same time, we also want our students to keep in touch with new researches,new concepts and new theory system in biological field and finally put theminto practice in future clinical study.
