The Nangang Campus of the Biodiversity Research Center, Academia Sinica, serves as the central hub for cutting-edge research and graduate education in biodiversity sciences. Specializing in the study of Taiwan's rich biological diversity across terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments, the campus hosts numerous research laboratories focused on systematics, ecology, evolution, and conservation. It is home to the Taiwan International Graduate Program (TIGP) in Biodiversity, a collaborative PhD program with National Taiwan Normal University, offering multidisciplinary training to over 40 faculty members' students. Key facilities include the Biodiversity Research Museum, genomics core labs, and advanced imaging centers, enabling comprehensive studies from molecular to ecosystem levels.
- Population Genetics and Evolution: Advanced courses on genetic diversity, phylogenomics, and evolutionary mechanisms.
- Ecology and Conservation Biology: Lectures and field training in community ecology, population dynamics, and biodiversity conservation strategies.
- Systematics and Taxonomy: Training in morphological and molecular identification of species, with emphasis on Taiwanese endemics.
- Molecular Phylogenetics and Genomics: Techniques in DNA sequencing, phylogenomic analysis, and comparative genomics.
- Marine Biodiversity and Ecosystems: Specialized modules on coral reefs, fisheries, and marine plankton through the Marine Science Center.
- Terrestrial and Insect Biodiversity: Research-oriented classes on entomology, botany, and vertebrate diversity.
- Bioinformatics and Biodiversity Informatics: Computational tools for big data analysis in ecology and evolution.
- Seminar Series and Field Biology: Ongoing discussions, expeditions, and hands-on methods in biodiversity surveys.
