The Department of Mechanical Engineering of National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) stated on March 18, 2021, that it has cooperated with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) to establish courses for the Semiconductor Instrument Engineering Program in the hope of strengthening the training of talent for semiconductor manufacturing technology and equipment. In addition to their major program during their school year, students are encouraged to engage in diverse learning. NYCU aims to educate students on the semiconductor manufacturing process and relevant professional technologies as well as enhance the transition between school education and industry practice, thereby enabling them to understand technologies and development trends related to semiconductor instruments and equipment. Talent in the semiconductor industry, mechanical engineering, and ...
In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, Prof. Jinn-Moon Yang, the director of the Department of Biological Science & Technology at the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), created an intercollegiate and interdisciplinary smart dynamic system-based biological and medicine development team. Among the numerous types of medicine applied worldwide, the team selected 4 types of potential old medicine that inhibit COVID-19 activities to create a drug that can treat COVID-19 infection. This drug can reduce relevant costs substantially; eliminate the time required for clinical trials, which may take up to several years; and be applied immediately in first-line medical practice, lowering the risks of infection among patients and medical professionals and bringing hope to COVID-19 treatment. According to Prof. ...
The structural biology team of the College of Biological Science and Technology, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) adopted the x-ray protein crystallography method to analyze the structure of the apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1)–DNA complex. The team’s goal was to understand how the APE1 protein activity in the human body is utilized by cancer cells to repair their DNA damaged by drugs, thereby developing drug resistance toward DNA-damaging anticancer drugs. In the future, if structure-based drug design can be used to block the activity of APE1, then part of the drug resistance problems of cancer cells can be resolved. This 3-year research was led by the associate professor Hsiao Yu-Yuan of the Institute of Molecular Medicine, School of ...
A newly merged university named the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) with her foundations in the two renowned universities, National Yang-Ming University and National Chiao Tung University, celebrated her official opening today with the inauguration of the first President Professor Chi-Hong Lin MD/PhD.
