From the early period of categorizing the kinds of venomous snakes; to using the serums clinically; to researching the poisonous components, to extracting toxalbumin, purifying and sequencing; to the 1990's research in molecular biology and biophysics-one could say that the history of research into snake serums reflects the history of life sciences research in Taiwan.
由早期的毒蛇分類、血清臨床應用、毒理研究，到毒蛋白分離、純化、定序，乃至九○年代的分子生物學、生物物理學研究，可以說，整個蛇毒研究史就是一部台灣生命科學研究史。
