Abstract
South
China University of Technology (SCUT) is one of China's key universities
operating under the direct leadership of the State Ministry of Education. The
university, which has a total area of 294 hectares, is situated in Guangzhou, a
southern metropolitan in China. The university has two campuses: The Wushan
Campus and Guangzhou Higher Education Mega Center Campus.
History
South China
University of Technology (SCUT), formerly known as the South China Institute of
Technology, was established in 1952. In 1960, SCUT was awarded ranked among the
key universities of China. In 1981, it was authorized by the State Council to
confer doctor degrees and master degrees, and was among the first universities
in the country to do so. In 1995, it was selected as one of the universities
into which China will make significant investment in the 21st century. In 1999,
it wasrated "excellent" during the Undergraduate Teaching Assessment,
and was among the first "Excellent Universities of Undergraduate
Education" in the country. In the same year, a national science park was
established with the authorization of State Ministry of Technology and State
Ministry of Education. In 2000, Graduate School was authorized to be
established. In 2001, the new cooperative construction of State Ministry of
Education and Guangdong Province was implemented in SCUT and it was listed
among the top universities in the country. After 60 years of development, SCUT
has become a multidisciplinary university focusing on engineering, combined
with science, also promoting well coordinated development of management,
economics,humanities and law.
New
Campus
School of
Bioscience and Bioengineering was founded in 2004, located in the scenic south
campus of South China University of Technology (SCUT)，covering 10000 square meters. The School owns individual teaching,
laboratory building and complete facilities, which create a good environment
and development space for discipline construction.

Recent
situation
In 2007, a
first class discipline The Light Industry Technology and Engineering was formed
by our school’s Fermentation along with Sugar Engineering as well as Pulp and
Paper Engineering which became a national-level key discipline. In 4th 2010, it
gained the authority to launch PhD program of first class discipline. According
to the discipline background and the need of further development, we will focus
on 4 second-class disciplines: Microbiology, Biochemistry and Molecular
Biology, Physiology and Biophysics as well as Medical Biology. In addition, our
school has Post-doctoral mobile station for The Light Industry Technology and
Engineering.
Now we
concentrate on the researches of Bioinformatics and Microbial Functional
Genomics, Microbial Resources and Regulation of Microbial Metabolism, Molecular
Transformation and Enzyme Engineering, Fermentation Engineering and
Fermentation Equipment, Bio-catalytic Processing Engineering, Bioinformatics,
Biomechanics, Medical Information and Equipment, and Biomedicine etc.Since BGI (Beijing
Genomics Institute) and our school co-founded a “genomics science”
innovation class for two years, there have been a total of 31 co-first
authors or byliners publishing 22 high-level papers in top international academic
journals "Nature" and "Science".
Our school
actively engages in foreign exchange. We successively established close
cooperation with a number of British and American well-known colleges such as
Oxford, United Kingdom Imperial College, State University of New Jersey, Camegie
Meilun and we also establishes strategic alliance with famous domestic
universities and academic institutes. Besides, we hired 2006 Physiology or
Medicine Nobel Prize winner, chair professor of University of Massachusetts
medical school department of Molecular Medicine, Professor Craig Mello as our
honorary professor.
