The Department provides a truly supportive international environment for both teaching and research, with more than half of our academic staff born outside of mainland China. The Department is under strong leadership and entering an exciting new phase of development focused on the “Biomedical Sciences”, which is a key priority area for the School of Science, XJTLU and the Suzhou provincial government. This is a strategic response to both the growing market demand for Biomedical professionals and the existing strengths of the Department.
