Microbial Biotechnology is inherently multidisciplinary-relying upon contributions from ecology, evolution, biochemistry, geosciences, environmental engineering, public health, etc. This course focuses on the vast array of applications in microbiology. Invited speakers will contribute lectures that describe the bacterial genetics and techniques for molecular engineering as well as their applications in medicine, agriculture, industry, energy, and the environment. 授課教師：劉啟德、劉?睿、 林長平、曾顯雄、劉瑞芬、林詩舜、郭瑞庭、許元勳

For the Bioinformatics and application field, we will give an overview of the existing types of high throughput platforms including next generation sequencing, microarray technology, proteomics, and metabolomics analysis. The course will also introduce the current methods, models and discrete algorithmic analyses applied to these data. The course will provide an overview of the biological databases. We will also give the introduction of patent application related to the biotechnology studies. 授課教師：蔡孟勳、施明哲、呂美嬿、陳逸然、丁詩同、呂劭凡
