As a leader in several research fields with a culture of collaboration and innovation, CMU has made important breakthroughs in cancer treatment such as inventing combined target therapy and immune checkpoint therapy to overcome difficult malignancies, lengthening the survival of glioblastoma patients, discovering ANK-199, a promising anticancer drug that treats head and neck cancer, and identifying the receptor protein IL-17RB that is strongly associated with pancreatic cancer. The Center of Excellence for Chinese Medicine is awarded with Top-Notch Center Grant by Ministry of Education (MOE) Taiwan for 5 years and conducts many lines of clinical studies and discovery of mechanisms underlying the acupuncture-induced anesthesia via opioid-dependent and opioid-independent pathways. The Center of Excellence for New Drug Development is awarded with Top-Notch Center Grant by MOE and aims to develop novel drugs for 5 years.
International collaborative partnerships with prestigious institutions such as Stanford University, the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, UC Irvine, National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technology University, University of Tokyo, University of Zurich and Seoul National University have been firmly established. Additionally, over 80 international healthcare companies and venture capitalists are assisting the university with its knowledge transfer mission. Thus far, over 60 new drugs have emerged from CMU’s research laboratories, as well as 10 spin-off companies.
