Introduction
Shu-Chun Chang is an Associate Professor of the Ph.D. Program for Translational Medicine, Taipei Medical University, Taiwan. Dr. Chang trained in extracellular biology and glycobiology and began work on cancer research as her PhD study in Imperial College London (IC, 2007-2011). Her PhD work aimed to investigate the role of Hedgehog Acyltransferase & Heparan Sulphate Proteoglycans (HSPGs) in Human Sonic Hedgehog (hShh) Signaling. These studies have greatly contributed to defining the functional roles of hShh interactions with HSPGs and palmitoylation of hShh in the formation of hShh multimeric complex, which enabled cancer cell therapeutics. Dr Chang continued to work in the field of Cancer Immunology/Inflammation as her Post-Doc research at the National University of Singapore (NUS, 2011-2015). Her findings clearly established the power of SAG-UPS (ubiquitin proteasome system) as a functional link between immune defense and apoptosis or immune-overactivation and tumorigenesis. SAG–UPS was proposed to be an efficient target for developing therapeutics against autoimmune diseases and cancers. Continuing from her postdoctoral research work, her current independent research focusses on: UPS, E2/E3 enzymes profiling, cancer therapeutics and anticancer strategies, the tumorigenic microenvironment, Hiltonol cocktails in anti-cancer strategies, anti-PD-L1 cancer vaccine. All of these related topics of research encompasses cancer immunomodulation, which she is being recognized internationally, as evidenced by multiple invitations from impactful journals to her to submit manuscripts to contribute her area of expertise.
Previously, Dr Chang revealed that dysregulation of the ubiquitination-proteasome system (UPS) exacerbates the tumor microenvironment and drives malignant transformation [1-3]. As the largest family of E3 ligases, the SCF E3 is involved in chronic inflammation-mediated tumorigenesis such as BRCA [4,5]. However, the underlying mechanisms and key factors through which SCF E3 ligase drives BRCA initiation and progression remain unclear. During Dr Chang’s research period in TMU (2015-current), since her research encompasses a wide array of experimental approaches (e.g. biochemical, cell & molecular techniques, molecular biophysics, computational modeling and immunochemical methods involving clinical specimens), as a Principle Investigator, Dr Chang has put together a team of collaborators and co-workers (both locally at TMU and internationally) to derive the best output and to spawn research collegiality and inculcate team-spirit. In the future, Dr Chang aim to investigate potent approaches to restrain the pro-tumorigenic microenvironment to inhibit cancer cell growth and metastasis.
Research interests
- BZDRs promote breast cancer progression through GABRA3-ECM signaling.
- Clarify PBMCs-associated tumorigenic microenvironment mediated by Musa Sapientum extracts.

Introduction
During my postdoc training, I focused on the functions of noncoding RNAs in cancer development. Our work “miR-103/107 promote metastasis of colorectal cancer by targeting the metastasis suppressors DAPK and KLF4.” has been published in 2012 and got 333 citations (Chen et al., Cancer Res. 72:3631-41, 2012.). In 2014, I joined TMU and extended my research to long non-coding RNAs. We used bioinformatic tools to identified some lncRNAs that could contribute to tumor progression and delineate their molecular mechanism by multiple molecular, cellular and in vivo approaches. In 2022, we identified “a novel lncRNA Smyca which coactivates TGF-β/Smad and Myc pathways to drive tumor progression” (Chen et al., J Hematol Oncol. 15:85, 2022.). In this work, we collaborated with Dr. Becky Chen in National Tsing Hua University to develop the “nanoparticle-assisted gapmer antisense oligonucleotides delivery” to target Smyca in vivo. Our result suggests targeting Smyca prevents metastasis and overcomes chemoresistance, therefore provide the preclinical evidence for therapeutic insight of Smyca.
Currently, my lab focuses on three aspects. First, we extend our work on Smyca to dig other therapeutic application. Second, we investigate the roles of interested lncRNAs in tumor progression and their impact on tumor microenvironment. Third, we collaborate with drug delivery team to refine the strategy for lncRNA targeting.

Introduction
Dr. Yi-Fan Chen is an associate professor in Taipei Medical University. Dr. Chen possesses expertise in the fields of Genetics, Geroscience & Geriatrics, and Genetically modified mouse models. When she was a PhD student at National Yang-Ming University, she dedicated herself to the study of aging research. Aging is a progressive functional decline, or a gradual deterioration of physiological function with age, including irreversible age-related process of loss of viability. Exploring a potential strategy to maintain and rejuvenate mitochondrial health is extremely important. She and her mentor, Prof. Ting-Fen Tsai, proposed that Cisd2, a gene with a critical function in modulating health span in mammals, contributes to maintain mitochondrial integrity and functions majorly. Based on this concept, when she started her career at Taipei Medical University, she proposed that an age-dependent decrease of Cisd2 in hair cells and/or auditory nerves leads to age-related hearing loss in mice. This auditory study is being processed for the final mechanism examination. Additionally, they demonstrated that Cisd2 can be a critical target for ameliorating the disease progression of Alzheimer’s disease by maintaining mitochondrial function and integrity .
In recent years, Dr. Chen has a strong passion for investigating stem cells and their surrounding microenvironment. She hypothesizes that controlling the cell fate and stemness of stem cells is highly necessary to prolong the health-span of tissues; otherwise, age-dependently accumulated waste and stress can paralyze the tissue functions. In her lab, they demonstrated that Rrm2b, a critical protein controlling mitochondrial functions, plays an important role in regulating the regeneration capacity of stem cells, resulting in tissue dysfunction and senescence. They pointed out the importance of Rrm2b in myofibers following the investigation of molecular mechanisms in myofiber (part of niche) to modulate the cell fate of muscle stem cells . She believes that establishing mouse models for investigating the relationship between diseases and risk factors is a critical contribution for developing the therapeutic methods. If everyone can follow the principles of 3R, undoubtedly, mouse model will contribute to being a perfect in vivo model.
Aging is a progressive functional decline, or a gradual deterioration of physiological function with age, including irreversible age-related process of loss of viability. In human, several aging-related diseases such as neurodegenerative, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes have endangered human life and affected the life quality. Mitochondria is the energy factory in cell and also play the key role in cellular metabolism. As we known, dysfunctional mitochondria are primary defects in most diseases, especially age associated diseases. To explore a potential strategy to maintain and rejuvenate mitochondrial health is extremely important.

Introduction
Increasing evidence suggests a link between dysregulation of histone deacetylases (HDACs) activity and many neoplastic/neurodegenerative diseases, as it regulates acetylation of multiple proteins and affects cellular functions, including cell growth, apoptosis, moving, etc. I have been focusing on HDAC research for thirteen years, including postdoctoral research at National Cheng Kung University (2010-2011), postdoctoral research at National Institute on Drug Abuse (2011-2013), and teaching at Taipei Medical University (2013-present). Interestingly, our lab recently discovered that HDACs have completely different functions in promoting cell survival like yin and yang regulation in different cells (Brain tumor cells and nerve cells), and these findings are supported by the following projects.
- To study the role of specificity protein 1 (Sp1) in cancer drug resistance (2016/08/01~2019/10/31), 105-2320-B-038-063 (1/3); 106-2320-B-038-002 (2/3); 107-2320-B-038-002 (3/3)

Our lab focuses on intervention studies to reduce air pollution exposure and improve human health. From 2015 to 2020, our lab found that traffic-related fine particles (PM2.5) were associated with autonomic alteration. Commuting modes could modify the effects of PM2.5 on heart rate variability (HRV) indices among young, healthy subjects. The personal exposure levels to PM2.5 were the highest in the walking commuters. The effects of PM2.5 on HRV indices were the lowest in the subway commuters compared to the effects in the walking commuters. For indoor air pollution exposure and human health, our lab found that indoor air pollution exposure was associated with systemic inflammation, oxidative stress and elevated blood pressure. The long-term filtration of indoor air pollution with an air conditioner filter was associated with cardiovascular health improvement of adults. Moreover, our lab found that houseplants could reduce indoor particulate air pollution and improve respiratory health among health adults. However, the presence of houseplants was associated with indoor ozone, isoprene and peak expiratory flow rate variations in the summer. Therefore, we recommend that the indoor temperature should be maintained below 30 degrees Celsius to avoid an increase in ozone concentration. From 2019 to 2022, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak is a public health emergency of international concern. people are racing to buy face masks, especially medical masks to protect themselves from infection. It has led to a medical mask shortage around the world and may result in shortage of medical mask for people in need. Our team investigated whether cotton mask worn by respiratory infection person could suppress respiratory droplet levels compared to medical mask. We found that cotton mask could be a potential substitute for medical mask for respiratory infection person in microenvironment with air conditioning. Healthy people may daily use cotton mask in the community since cotton mask is washable and reusable.

Introduction
Dr. Kai-Cheng Hsu obtained his Ph.D. degree under Professor Jinn-Moon Yang in 2011. He completed his post-doctoral fellowship training under Professor Jinn-Moon Yang, where he designed software and proposed novel strategies for drug design. He then completed an assistant research fellowship at the Center for Bioinformatics Research at National Chiao Tung University. Next, He joined Taipei Medical University in 2015 as an assistant professor and received a promotion to professor in 2022.
Dr. Hsu ‘s research interests include drug discovery and rational drug design. He developed new tools for protein-ligand docking, virtual screening, and lead optimization, such as iGEMDOCK and SiMMap. Dr. Hsu also proposed pathway-based screening strategies for multitarget inhibitors of diverse proteins in metabolic pathways and a parallel screening strategy of wild-type and drug-resistant targets for anti-resistance inhibitors. Incorporating new tools and strategies, his team has identified 60 novel inhibitors targeting various proteins. Currently, his lab focuses on designing new kinase inhibitors for cancer and neuro disorders. His team has identified novel inhibitors targeting 80 kinases, 20 of which inhibit the targeted kinases within <10 nM. His work has been published 95 papers in various SCI journals and yielded 3 patents. Traditional small-molecule drug development requires immense financial resources and extensive time commitment. Unfortunately, these requirements are coupled with a low success rate. Establishing an artificial intelligence (AI) platform for drug design has the potential to reduce the demanding development time and cost seen in traditional drug development pipelines. Our team has developed an AI platform for drug design and discovery. The platform establishes various models targeting the four phases of drug development: (1) Hit identification; (2) Lead optimization; (3) Cytotoxicity prediction; and (4) ADME prediction. In hit identification, the platform has various models that can predict potential inhibitors for protein kinases with an average accuracy of 85%. For lead optimization, the platform designs one million compound derivatives and selects the most promising derivatives for synthesis. 12 cancer cell models have been established to predict compound cytotoxicity with an average accuracy of 90%. Finally, the platform for the ADME prediction phase can predict a compounds’ ability to pass the blood-brain barrier with an accuracy of 96%. Our platform can also predict acute toxicity, immunotoxicity, and mutagenicity with an accuracy of 83.8%, 84.2%, and 84%, respectively. Our work has yielded novel nanomolar inhibitors targeting 80 kinases, 20 of which inhibit the targeted kinases with IC50 values of <10 nM. We believe that our platform can accelerate different stages of drug development, reduce costs, and increase the success rate for new drugs.

Introduction
Dr. Huang is an University Associate Professor in Ph.D. Program in Medical Neuroscience at Taipei Medical University. After she graduated from Taipei Medical University, she got the pharmacist license and involved in the research about the pharmacology and molecular mechanism of cervical cancer during her master and Ph. D. research in National Cheng-Kung University. In her postdoctoral fellow in Academia Sinica, she was interested in neurodegenerative diseases, and focused on studying the pathological protein TDP-43 in both frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) with ubiquitin inclusions (FTLD-U) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Now she is an associate professor in Taipei Medical University, and she continues her interest in exploring more molecular mechanism of TDP-43 in neural-related diseases.
Our previous studies focused on identifying the physiological function and neuropathies of the neurodegenerative disease-related pathological TDP-43. Also, we endeavor to explore potential therapeutic strategy specifically targeting on ameliorating TDP-43-related proteinopathies. Unrevealing these underlying mechanism is thus essential to provide more comprehensive understanding about TDP-43 neuropathies.
TDP-43: TDP-43 is identified as the major component of the ubiquitin positive inclusion in the frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD-U) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) neurodegenerative diseases, suggesting the mismetabolism of TDP-43 protein is the major cause for the pathological TDP-43 aggregates formation. However, the comprehensive picture of the metabolism and mis-metabolism of TDP-43 protein itself in normal cells remains unclear. We provide a comprehensive model of the metabolism and mismetabolism of TDP-43 in relation to these findings is presented in J. Cell. Sci. 2014. In addition, we also discovered the impact of loss-of-function of TDP-43 on autophagy regulation which contributes to the development of TDP-43 proteinopathies. Our works was presented in J. Biol. Chem. 2011. We also explore the detailed therapeutic mechanism of traditional herb medicine berberine on TDP-43 proteinopathy which provides an candidate drug targeting with less side effect potentially developed as an alternative therapy for TDP-43-related neuropathology in FTLD and ALS (J Biomed Sci, 2016) (104-2320-B-038-054-MY3). Moreover, we have identified Znf179 as an E3 ubiquitin ligase for TDP-43 and demonstrated the ZNF-179-mediated regulatory mechanism in TDP-43 metabolism and TDP-43-related proteinopathies. A better understanding of the function of the novel E3 ligase, Znf179, and the correlation between Znf179 and TDP-43 will provide a new therapeutic avenue for the ALS and FTLD-U patients in the future (J Biomed Sci, 2018)(104-2320-B-038-054-MY3). In clinical trial, we have demonstrated the elevation of plasma TDP-43 in the exosome may develop as a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of ALS patients (J. Neurol. Sci. 2020). Moreover, in our phase II clinical trial, we found that the add-on therapy of tamoxifen mildly attenuates the disease progression in the first 6 months, implicating the benefit role of tamoxifen for the early disease onset ALS patients (Medicine, 2020). Not only in FTLD and ALS, we discovered that TDP-43 also plays a role in ischemia stroke and involved in rapamycin-mediated therapeutic effect in ischemia stoke disease model (Int J Mol Sci. 2022)(110-2320-B-038-067-MY3). To explore the specific way to target TDP-43 for proteasome degradation, we dedicated to unravel the role of TNKS-mediated ADP-ribosylation of TDP-43 and TNKS-PI31 signaling cascade for the activity regulation and axonal transportation of 20S proteasome under normal condition and TDP-43-related neuropathies (Manuscript is in preparation) (110-2320-B-038-067-MY3). Overall speaking. we provide a better understanding of the TDP-43 proteinopathies and open a new therapeutic avenue for ALS and FTLD-U patients.

Introduction
Dr. Carlos Shu Kei Lam (Shu-Kee Lin) holds the position of Professor at the School of Medicine, College of Medicine, Taipei Medical University, Taiwan. He earned his PhD in Public Health in 2020, a Master’s Degree in Medical Science in 2002, and a Bachelor of Medicine in 1985. In 2006, he was granted a clinical fellowship at the emergency department of Sir Mortimer B. Davis – Jewish General Hospital, McGill University, Canada.
Dr. Lam attained his specialization in surgery in 1990, followed by specialization in emergency medicine and critical medicine in 1999 and 2010, respectively. Serving as an attending physician at the emergency department of Wan Fang Hospital, Taipei Medical University, since 1998, he assumed the role of director of the department from 2008 to 2014. At present, he is the director for the Resident Training Program.
Dr. Lam’s laboratory has recently undertaken significant research initiatives, focusing on:
1. Establishment of Predictive Models for Prognosis among Pneumonia Patients
Addressing a crucial aspect of personalized precision medicine, we predict clinical deterioration post-hospital or emergency department discharge. Amidst post-COVID-19 challenges, ED overcrowding is a concern. Thus, our research involves establishing predictive models for adverse outcomes in patients with lower respiratory tract infections, employing machine learning to forecast 30-day readmission.
2. The Post Traumatic Recovery Cohort-Taiwan (PTRC-Taiwan)
With Taiwan embracing an aging society, we explore the impact of pre-existing conditions on functional outcomes in elderly trauma patients. By conducting a prospective cohort study, we aim to understand the connection between pre-injury health conditions, such as pre-existing diseases and frailty, and subsequent functional decline.
3. GIS Analysis of Environmental Risk Factors on Road Traffic Injuries
Unraveling the complexities of road traffic accidents, we delve into the influence of environmental factors. Beyond road-related aspects, we investigate the interplay of air quality, weather conditions, and injury severity in road traffic injuries (RTIs). Using Geographical Information System (GIS), our research seeks to establish associations between environmental factors and injury outcomes.
Under Dr. Lam’s guidance, our mentored medical students have achieved remarkable accomplishments. One student secured a research grant from the National Science and Technology Council and received an honorable mention at the Taipei Medical University Teachers and Students Joint Academic Research Symposium. Collaborating with Dr. Lam, the student co-authored two SCI papers. Moreover, another medical student is exploring the risk of subsequent traumatic intracranial hemorrhage post-new stroke. This research has been accepted for oral presentation at the 18th World Congress of Neurosurgery Symposium and will be submitted for publication soon.
Currently, four medical students are actively engaged in research within Dr. Lam’s lab. Among them, three are examining the connections between air pollution and RTIs, while one is investigating the risk factors contributing to functional decline among trauma patients.

NEW ERA FOR PRECISE NUTRITION: HERBAL FOOD AND DATA ANALYSIS
[/av_textblock]
Jane C-J Chao
Professor
School of Nutrition and Health Sciences
Program Introduction
Herbal food has been used as traditional remedies to cure many diseases, and some of the herbs have still been used for culinary purposes recently. Nowadays herbal food continuously becomes more demanded and popular, and is consumed as herbal food products, dietary supplements, and functional foods. In some cultures or nations, daily supplements with herbal food have been seen as remedies or alternative therapies for some diseases or believed to be beneficial to improve metabolic disturbance and imbalance. Therefore, have you ever wondered what the active components of the herbal food are? How do the active components work in the human body? What are the possible mechanisms for modulating various diseases? How much is suggested to consume or supplement with the herbal food? Does it really work? Prof. Jane’s lab is mainly interested in revealing the effects of polysaccharides from Goji berries and their combination with other potential compounds such as C-phycocyanin, capsaicin, and probiotics on gastrointestinal diseases.
The association between dietary intake and chronic diseases such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes has also been a concern in the aspects of nutritional epidemiology, which inspires us to change point of view from specific nutrients or functional components into daily dietary patterns by using big data analysis and AI prediction model via machine learning. Let us explore and gather hands-on experiences in nutritional epidemiology, study model design, and prediction from big empirical data sets.
Through this mentorship, the mentee will have the opportunity to learn (1) the foundation of herbal food, (2) the physiological function of herbal food, (3) the mechanisms of herbal food for protecting against various diseases, and (4) the correlation between dietary patterns and chronic diseases.
