The Biotechnology major is a "provincial-level first-class undergraduate major construction point" and a "provincial-level characteristic major in colleges and universities". Microbiology is the "eighth batch of key disciplines in Henan Province", and Biology and Medicine is a "provincial - level key construction discipline" and a "provincial - level master's professional degree cultivation point".

V. Student Development

The college focuses on opening large-scale instruments such as electron microscopes, flow cytometers, and fluorescence quantitative PCR instruments to undergraduate students. Through the integration of science and education and multi-disciplinary collaborative teaching methods, students' innovation and practical abilities are strengthened.

The college has jointly established innovation and entrepreneurship bases with Henan Hualan Biological Engineering Co., Ltd., Zhengzhou Antu Biological Engineering Co., Ltd., Anhui Gujing Gongjiu Group, Shoujiu Group, etc., and constructed high-level industry-university-research-application cooperation platforms to provide high - quality internship and training positions for students.

More than 500 students from the college have been admitted to "Double First-Class" universities such as Northwest A&F University, China University of Geosciences, Huazhong Agricultural University, Nanjing Agricultural University, Shaanxi Normal University, Jinan University, Zhengzhou University, and South China Agricultural University. In the class of 2024, 44 students were successfully admitted as postgraduate students, and the overall postgraduate entrance examination admission rate reached 30.3%.

The college actively organizes discipline-specific competitions to guide students' all-round development and has constructed a multi-disciplinary collaborative teaching model guided by competitions. Students have won first prizes many times in national college student life science competitions, national college student innovation and entrepreneurship competitions, and the "Challenge Cup" and other discipline competitions.

VI. Scientific Research

The teachers in the college have strong teaching and research capabilities. They have presided over 14 provincial-level online open courses, university-level first-class courses, and high-quality resource-sharing courses. Among them, "Cell Engineering" and "Introduction to Landscape Design" are "Henan Provincial First-Class Undergraduate Courses", "Microbiology" and "Cell Engineering" are "Henan Provincial Ideological and Political Model Courses", and "Virtual Simulation Experiment ofLiquorProduction" and "Virtual Simulation Project of Monoclonal Antibody Preparation and Application" are "Henan Provincial Virtual Simulation Experimental Teaching Projects". They have presided over 7 projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, 2 sub-projects of the National Key Research and Development Program, 41 provincial and ministerial-level projects, and participated in obtaining 10 Henan Provincial Science and Technology Progress Awards and 21 national invention patents.
