The motto “Tree of Life · Ocean of Sciences” captures the fundamental interconnectedness defining our School. The Tree of Life represents evolutionary relationships binding all organisms together, symbolizing growth, branching knowledge, and deep roots anchoring our understanding of life’s diversity. Our academic community cultivates knowledge that grows from established foundations while extending into unexplored scientific territories.

The Ocean of Sciences reflects the boundless nature of research at our School. Like vast waters sustaining all life, this ocean represents both the profound depth of specialized research and infinite possibilities when disciplines converge. Our faculty and students navigate currents of knowledge, exploring the interconnected tributaries of life sciences, where collaborative ideas flow together to create new streams.

Our logo synthesizes these concepts through the fusion of the water droplet and the Chinese oracle character “生.” Water serves as life’s universal foundation and ecosystem connector, while “生”, resembling a tree, embodies vitality and continuous renewal. Together, they create a powerful narrative: from water’s fundamental role emerges life’s magnificent complexity. This design reflects our identity as a place where foundational knowledge meets cutting-edge innovation, where ancient wisdom converges with pioneering advances in life sciences.

「生命之樹·科學海洋」概括本學院的根本精神——萬物相連，生生不息。生命之樹象徵連結萬物的演化關係，代表知識的成長、分枝與深根，奠定我們對生物多樣性的深刻理解。我們的學術社群如樹木般，既從深厚根基汲取養分，又不斷向未知的科學領域拓展枝葉。

科學海洋展現本學院研究的無垠之境。如滋養萬物的浩瀚海洋，既蘊藏專業研究的深邃，亦孕育學科交流的無限可能。我們的師生在知識洋流中航行探索，穿梭於生命科學的各個支流，思想如水流匯聚，共同開創新流。

我們的標誌巧妙融合水滴與漢字「生」。水為生命本源，連繫各個生態系統；「生」字以甲骨文表達，形似樹木，蘊含生機與不斷更生的力量。兩者相融，編織出真諦：從水的根本作用中，綻放生命的壯麗與豐盛。此設計體現我們的理念——深厚知識根基與創新在此相遇，古老自然智慧與生物科學的最新進展在此融合。
