Department of Biology

Biology is the scientific study of the phenomena and principles of life and its activities. Its progress and development are constantly revealing the enigmas of life and will essentially address many challenges that humanity encounters. Biology is also the foundation of various disciplines, such as agriculture, forestry, medicine and environmental science. Any fundamental breakthrough in biology will exert a profound impact on the development of world and humanity.

The Department of Biology will encompass multiple research directions, such as plant biology, ecology and evolution, cell homeostasis, food science and agriculture. Facilitated by several well-established research platforms such as SUSTech-Peking University Institute of Plant and Food Sciences and the Key Laboratory of Molecular Design for Plant Cell Factory of Guangdong Higher Education Institutes, the Department will endeavor to make new growth of biological disciplines and cultivate interdisciplinary directions, and to pursue in-depth research on the nature and laws behind life.

In the next five to ten years, the Department of Biology will build an innovative, collaborative and aspiring consortium with 20-25 principal investigators at various levels. We aim to educate and train students and young scientists capable of creative and critical thinking and interdisciplinary cooperation. By conducting state-of-the-art research with emphasis on multidisciplinary collaboration, the Department of Biology will keep enhancing its national and international impact in life science.
