BRIEF INTRODUCTION
The Department of Medical Technology was established in 1989. In 2001, the
graduate program was established. For promotion of research competitiveness and
the trend of biotechnology in life sciences, the department is renamed from
‘Medical Technology’ to ‘Medical Laboratory Science and Biotechnology’ in 2001.
The curriculum has been re-designed to meet the requirement of different fields and
hence students can be trained to be multi-disciplined in the medical technology and
biotechnology. The department not only retains the original features that have been
long established but also develops the integration of different fields in modern
biotechnology.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES
Undergraduate
The purposes of the Department are to coordinate bedside medical care with
specialists in clinical testing and to cultivate professionals in basic medicine
research so as to meet the demands of the development of national biomedical
technology.
Graduate
The master program aims at development of techniques and kits in laboratory
8-139
medicine, cultivation of managers and consultants in laboratory medicine and
professionals in biomedical science.
