重庆大学生物工程学院

重庆大学生物工程学院于 1998 年正式建院，其前身是 1979 年设立的国内第一个生物力学研究室和生物医电教研室。学院下设生物医学工程系、生物工程系、维多生物工程研究所、生物医学电子研究所、基因工程研究中心、应用生物技术研究中心等二级单位。

作为国家级人才培养和科学研究的重要基地，学院设备先进、学科齐全、师资力量雄厚。在国家 “211 工程 ” 、 “985 工程 ” 以及 20 06 年首批进入的国家 “111 计划 ” 等的强力支持和重点建设下 ，学院已建成现代化的生物力学实验室、基因工程实验室、细胞培养室、组织工程材料室、生化及分子生物学实验室、血液流变学实验室、医学电子实验室、医学图像室、植物细胞力学及植物组织工程实验室等。现拥有 1 个博士后流动站， 1 个一级学科博士学位授权点， 5 个二级学科博士学位授权点， 3 个一级学科硕士学位授权点（覆盖 23 个二级学科硕士学位授权点）， 1 个省级重点实验室，正在建设国家重点实验室。学院拥有正副教授 49 人，其中博士生导师 17 人，中青年教师中拥有博士学位者近 80% ， 并且相当一批具有在国外知名大学留学的经历 。有生物工程学、生物医学工程两个本科专业，在校本科生达 520 人，硕士、博士研究生达 459 人 。

“十五”期间，承担各类科研项目多达 194 项，其中国家级项目， 包括“ 973 计划”、“ 863 计划”、国家自然科学基金重点项目和面上项目、国家科技攻关计划重大项目等共 34 项，高达 20% 以上。学院有着广泛的国际学术交流背景，长期与美、英、日、法、德、加等国的许多著名大学和研究机构保持着密切的交流和合作。 2005 年在重庆成功主办了“第十二届国际生物流变学大会暨第五届国际临床血液流变学大会”。随着“ 111 计划”基地的建设，一大批国际大师级的专家将来我院讲学和开展合作研究。学院正在向建设成国内一流、国际知名的研究型学院大踏步的前进。

Bioengineering College of Chongqing University

Bioengineering College of Chongqing University was founded in 1998, evolved from the first biomechanics laboratory in China and the biomedical electronics laboratory, both established in the late 1970's. There are multiple departments, institutes, and research centers now within the College including Department of Biomedical Engineering, Department of Bioengineering, Weiduo Institute of Bioengineering, Institute of Biomedical Electronics, Institute of Agricultural Bioengineering, Genetic Engineering Research Center, and Applied Bio-tech Research Center.

As a nationally acclaimed institution for bioengineering education and research, the College has a talented multidisciplinary faculty with strong staff support and well-equipped laboratory facilities. It is funded under the auspices of the very selective state-wide “211 project”, “985 project”, and the newly introduced “111 program”, positioning it as a major force in the field. There are advanced laboratories for biomechanics and tissue engineering, gene engineering, cell culture , biomaterials, molecular biology, electronics and imaging, mechanobiology of plant, and blood rheology,. So far, it is authorized by the State to confer doctoral degrees in one primary discipline (Biomedical Engineering), and 5 secondary disciplines, master's degrees in 3 primary discipline covering 23 secondary disciplines, as well as one key laboratory at provincial level. It is also authorized by the State to offer post-doctoral training. The faculty includes 49 full/ associate professors, among those >80 % are doctorate, 17 are eligible for supervising doctoral students, and most have international experience in research via study, work, or collaboration. Current enrolment of students includes 520 undergraduates majoring in either biomechanics or biomedical engineering, and 459 doctoral and master's degree candidates.

During the five fiscal years period of 2000-2005, the College has successfully secured 194 grants in total, among which 34 (~20% of total) are funded by the major national funding agencies such as “973 Project”, “863 Project”, Natural Science Foundation of China etc.. Through collaborations and scientific exchanges including students' exchange, the College has built a long-term relationship with many foreign institute across USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany, and Japan. In 2005, it has successfully organized the 12 th International Congress of Biorheology and the 5 th International Conference on Clinical Hemorheology that was held in Chongqing.

Remarkable as it has been, the College is striving to become an international power-house in both scientific discovery and technology innovation in biological and biomedical engineering.
