About Us

The Department of Medical Applied Chemistry (MAC) was established in 2002 and started a Master’s Program in 2006. At present we have 13 full-time faculties. We recruit 50 undergraduates and 5 graduates each year. The credit requirement for an undergraduate to graduate is 128 (including 64 credits in required courses), and that for a postgraduate is 30 (including 15 credits in required courses).

There are required courses including organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, cosmeceutics, and pharmaceutical-relating subjects. Our faculty member’s research interests cover a broad range of topics, which include natural products and health science, drugs design and synthesis, bioinorganic chemistry, bio-medicinal materials, trace analysis, biological analysis, biosensors and biochips. 

The aim is to educate students as a professional in applied chemistry toward biomedical applications. It is also to integrate chemical industries with raising bio-medicinal industries and balance two types of industries for their better development and for our national economy.

Academics

We hope to develop through research such things as new ways of making chemical or biological products, creating bio-medicinal materials, synthesizing or purifying substances for drugs, cosmetic science and preserving the purity of raw materials. In addition to taking the responsibility for teaching basic chemistry to the medical students, we hope to connect our area of basic chemical study to such other areas of study as bio-medicine and health medicine.
