The Faculty’s educational mission is delivered through five academic departments: the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Department of Clinical Medicine, Department of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Department of Public Health and Medicinal Administration, and Department of Medicinal Food and Nutrition Sciences. The Faculty’s research mission is supported by three major research platforms: the Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences, the State Key Laboratory of Mechanism and Quality of Chinese Medicine and the Ministry of Education Frontiers Science Centre for Precision Oncology (FSCPO). Precision oncology is a key strategic research focus of FMD, with FSCPO serving as a flagship platform for advancing translational research from scientific discovery to clinical application.
