2025 Summer Internship
The Center for Developmental Biology and Regenerative Medicine at National Taiwan University (NTU CDBRM) is committed to cultivating future talents in the fields of developmental biology and regenerative medicine. This summer internship program invites undergraduate students from life science-related departments at universities across Taiwan to join research laboratories affiliated with the center, where they will receive hands-on training in developmental and regenerative research techniques and participate in ongoing research projects.
Program Duration: June 25 to August 22, 2025
Application Deadline: From now until May 22, 2025
Professor Kai-Chien Yang’s research team at the Institute of Pharmacology has discovered that N-Cadherin promotes cardiac regeneration by potentiating pro-mitotic β-Catenin signaling in cardiomyocytes
Adult human hearts exhibit limited regenerative capacity. Post-injury cardiomyocyte (CM) loss can lead to myocardial dysfunction and failure. Although neonatal mammalian hearts can regenerate, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Herein, comparative transcriptome analyses identify adherens junction protein N-Cadherin as a crucial regulator of CM proliferation/renewal.
