【Organization】Nucleate Taiwan, newly launched, empowers future biotech leaders
On Thursday, October 5th, Nucleate’s Taiwan chapter held its long-anticipated launch event in Taipei, gathering over 100 attendees from eight top academic institutions. Founded at Harvard and MIT in 2018, Nucleate has quickly grown to be the world’s leading bio-entrepreneurship community empowering students to become the next generation of biotech leaders. Nucleate chapters across 26 cities in 11 countries and provides free educational programming, career development, and networking for students and trainees in the life sciences.
“Unleashing Your Potential in Biotech” was the theme of the night: catalyzed by trailblazing speakers spanning the spectrum of careers in biotech. Headlining the event were five speakers: Thomas F. Huang (Founder and CEO, GeneOnline), Liyam Chitayat Levi (PhD Student, Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Kelvin Sun (Principal, WI Harper Group), James Tsai (COO, CellTech Innovation), and Steven Lin (Research Fellow, Academia Sinica, Taiwan).
This launch event marks only the beginning of an expedition on which Nucleate Taiwan is embarking. The team aims to remove structural barriers and bring together local students, trainees, and alumni in the life sciences sphere in a way not seen before in Taiwan. Their goal is to connect budding biotech leaders across the richly diverse cities harboring academic hubs—from North to South, West to East, and ultimately from the island to the world.
Chapter co-founders Willie Xiang and Jack Liang share that the greatest advantage of joining Nucleate is the networking. By attracting top talent from within Taiwan—and from the far reaches of the globe—the next generation of biotech leaders are able to connect with each other early on through Nucleate to build lasting, impactful partnerships.
The NTU IMP is honored to have Willie participate in the program and serve as a mentor. Students who apply could have the chance to intern at Nucleate Taiwan, expand their network, and get involved in the process of expanding Nucleate’s presence in Taiwan.
