NTU Advances AI & Biomed Research

Supported by the Ministry of Education’s “National Key Field Top Research Centers Program,” National Taiwan University (NTU) established the AI Top Research Center and the Advanced Biomedical Research Center in 2025. These centers aim to drive interdisciplinary innovation in artificial intelligence and precision medicine, addressing national technological and healthcare needs while positioning NTU as a global hub for cutting-edge research and talent development.

The AI Top Research Center, led by Academia Sinica fellow Li Lin-Shan, brings together international scholars and industry leaders to build a competitive and socially responsible AI ecosystem. Its research focuses on AI education, trustworthy and explainable AI, next-generation models, and multilingual/cross-cultural understanding. The center will collaborate with top universities such as MIT, Stanford, and ETH Zurich, as well as industry leaders like NVIDIA and Google DeepMind, to advance AI applications across healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and more.

The Advanced Biomedical Research Center integrates NTU’s medical, engineering, and life science faculties, along with NTU Hospital and the Genomics and Precision Medicine Research Center. Led by experts including NTU Yonglin Health Research Institute director Yang Pan-Chi, it focuses on major diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, neurodegeneration, and gut microbiome research. The center combines fundamental studies with applied research—high-resolution imaging, AI diagnostics, and multifunctional therapeutics—while fostering international collaboration with France’s CNRS and INSERM and industry support to accelerate clinical translation and innovation.
