As an Associate Chapter of Nucleate, we foster community among life sciences student-trainees in Taiwan by hosting interactive, high-level events focused on biotech entrepreneurship and career development. We aim to democratize life sciences education and help student-trainees harness their training, bridge the talent gap between academia and industry, and elevate Taiwan's status as a biotech/pharma powerhouse from the ground up.
