So far, faculty and students have been working on projects like nano-drug delivery and tissue engineering research, the study of new dosage forms for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), pharmacodynamical studies of compound traditional Chinese medicine, biotechnology and bioengineering research of TCM, as well as research for new drug carrier materials. With the combined endeavor of all faculty and students, great achievements have been made on many projects and we look forward to achieving more and becoming better.
