What is Traditional Medicine?
It’s more than just medicine and biology. In TMS, we consider traditional medicine an interdisciplinary topic involving physics, engineering, anthropology, and politics. We believe the investigation of traditional medicine requires collaboration from diverse expertise for refreshing perspectives. We hope you are interested in learning more about traditional medicine as well, and hope you can join us to explore together.
