In June 2023, the opening of ShuangHo Campus starts the third wave of growth for TMU. Accompanied by the medical area and administrative space of Shuang Ho Hospital, it has become Taiwan’s first trinity biomedical park, combining medical university, biomedical industry and hospital. In the future, ShuangHo Campus will combine of various cutting-edge technologies of genetics, cell biology and immunology, collaborate with major research institutions and innovative enterprises at home and abroad,and integrate with AI, big data, medical materials and medical engineering to cultivate outstanding biomedical talents capable of dedicating themselves to R&D or related manufacture fields such as precision medicine. Furthermore, it aims to evolve into a significant base for developing top translational medicine research and accelerating industry-academia collaboration and incubation. Education, research, and medical care are the core missions of TMU, and continuous innovation is one of the keys to strengthen the competitiveness.
