The Department of Biology has strong teaching staff and complete scientific research laboratory resources, covering multiple branch fields of modern life science, and is an important basic discipline research and talent training platform.

Its research and teaching scope includes biological genetic rules, cell life activities, organism physiological mechanisms and ecological environment adaptation research. It attaches equal importance to classroom theoretical teaching and indoor experimental operation training, encouraging students to participate in frontier research projects.
The department undertakes a number of basic life science research tasks, and provides solid academic support for students who plan to engage in medicine, biological technology, environmental science and other majors. Many graduates continue to engage in high-level life science research work.
