United College Distinguished Visiting Scholar Lecture Series

With the recent advance of modern biology and genomics, the analysis and synthesis of the vast amount of biomedical information require the application of new concepts and techniques in engineering. The synthesis of research findings with the aid of systems biology has led to advances in science and technology, including fields such as drug delivery, nanomedicine, bioimaging, stem cells, regenerative medicine. In this lecture, Professor Chien hopes that the academia, industry, hospitals and government can join efforts to develop biomedical engineering. Such collaborations in the application of engineering to medicine will lead to the enhancements of health and quality of life of people.
