About the Institute of Oral Biology

The Institute of Oral Biology (IOB) at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) was established in February 1993, with its first cohort of graduate students admitted in May of the same year. A doctoral program was later launched in 2002, further strengthening its academic development and research capacity.

The Institute brings together a strong and diverse faculty team, including professors from the NYCU College of Dentistry as well as adjunct scholars from leading research institutions. Through this interdisciplinary collaboration, the Institute provides a rich academic environment and high-quality research resources.

The educational philosophy emphasizes:
1. Development of strong academic communication skills
2. Diverse and interdisciplinary curriculum design
3. Small-class, high-quality graduate education
4. Close mentorship between students and advisors
5. Generous scholarships and financial support
6. Opportunities for international exchange and industry collaboration


With an active research atmosphere, the Institute regularly hosts distinguished speakers, visiting scholars, and alumni, fostering academic exchange and global engagement. Its mission is to become a leading center for oral biological research and talent cultivation with strong international connections
