The Professor Feng-Chou Hsieh Memorial Lecture and Interdisciplinary Symposium
The Developmental Biology and Regenerative Medicine Research Center and the College of Medicine at National Taiwan University jointly organized the inaugural Professor Hsieh Feng-Chou Memorial Lecture and Interdisciplinary Symposium on July 10, 2025. The event attracted over 70 participants from various fields, including 4 international speakers and 16 local experts. The primary goal of this symposium was to honor Professor Hsieh Feng-Chou’s outstanding contributions to the medical community in Taiwan, and to continue the academic legacy of his promotion of interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation.
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.
