Mission Statement
Our founding principle is to integrate the core principles of modern medicine and materials engineering, emphasizing the significance of foundational science. While modern medicine focuses on biochemistry and molecular biology, materials and engineering education build upon mathematics, physics, and chemistry, further advancing applied sciences such as materials science, electronics, magnetism, optics, mechanics, and acoustics. At the intersection of these two realms, we pursue the philosophy of interdisciplinary science, propelling research and technology development in areas like biomedical materials, biophysics, tissue engineering, and related fields.
Through experiential exchange and collaborative research and development, we continually elevate the standards of our research. Based on this philosophy, our institute's research and development direction and characteristics are centered around the integration of engineering, biotechnology, basic medicine, and clinical dental medicine. We focus on key areas including biomedicine, medical materials, biophysics, tissue engineering, molecular medical imaging, biomedical nanoscience, and cancer therapy, and use these as the foundation to plan the main thrusts of our institute's research and development.
We welcome not only students with a background in biomedical science, making it an ideal choice for further studies and expanding expertise in specialized fields, but also scholars from diverse disciplines such as natural sciences, engineering, agriculture, and medicine, who have an interest in biomedical materials, medical engineering, and oral engineering science. Together, we are committed to advancing foundational scientific research and development.
History of the GIBMTE
Established in August 2006 as the "Biomedical Materials and Engineering", the institute later introduced an industry master's program in February 2010 and was renamed the "Biomedical Materials and Tissue Engineering" in August 2010. The doctoral program was approved in May 2011, with the inaugural doctoral class admitted through entrance exams in December 2011. In August 2015, in alignment with the establishment of the College of Biomedical Engineering at our university, the institute transitioned from the College of Oral Medicine to the College of Biomedical Engineering. Currently, we have a faculty of 8 dedicated professors.
