Overview

Life Science has a long and prosperous history at Tsinghua University. The Biology Department, founded in 1926, was among the oldest and most prestigious in China. In 1984, it was re-established as the Department of Biological Science and Biotechnology. In September 2009, in order to improve and accelerate life sciences research and education, the Department of Biological Science and Biotechnology was formally reorganized into the School of Life Sciences (SLS).

Highlights

—— The direction of research focuses on the frontiers of international biological research, and these technical fields are of great importance to the development of state economics and society, including structural biology (such as disease related to protein structure),developmental biology (animal embryo development, mechanisms of signal transduction), molecular cell biology (molecular mechanisms of disease-genesis), neurobiology (neuro-development and aging), biochemistry and molecular biology (functions of genes, protein drugs),molecular biophysics, molecular immunology, bioinformatics, bio-materials, plant genetic engineering, and many other areas.

—— During the 2017 Ministry of Education assessment, the School of Life Sciences was ranked A+ nationally in the Biology category.
