Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Host defense
研究簡介
Looking at the big picture is something Dr. Chen-Yuan Chiang is better equipped for than most. He’s an expert in thoracic medicine who has studied psychiatry, and public policy. He spends half of his time traveling the world to help cure multiple drug resistant tuberculosis and half at Wanfang Hospital and Taipei Medical University. Able to navigate international health organizations as well as he can the internal workings of the chest cavity, Dr. Chiang is helping to significantly reduce the prevalence of mdrtb around the world through a holistic approach to treatment and care.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD)
Inflammation &Tissue repairing
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
研究簡介
Open your window in just about any busy city in the world and take a deep breath. That is, if you dare risking the coughing, congestion, and inflammation that comes from a lungful of urban pollution. While these symptoms are a nuisance for healthy people, for patients suffering from chronic or serious lung disease, the matter could be one of life and death. But at least you can retreat to your home to enjoy the clean air, right? According to work done by Dr. Pai-Chien Chou, Taipei Medical University Hospital’s new Director of Thoracic Medicine and his team, your home might not have less air pollution that the bustling streets outside. Dr. Chou’s cutting edge work combining advances in medication, rehabilitation, and technology should help provide a solution.
Lung Cancer
TKI resistance
Cancer immunology
研究簡介
Treatments against lung cancer are effective in the lab, but their treatment effectiveness in the body drops off over time as tumors modify their immediate environment. Dr. Kang-Yun Lee directs a team of researchers at TMU Shuang-Ho hospital that are expanding the range of precision-medicine approaches to target lung cancer and lung disease by understanding the individual tumor microenvironments, and their impacts on treatment success.
Sleep Medicine
Sleep and Upper airways
研究簡介
The severity of sleep apnea has traditionally been measured in sleep labs, but the accuracy of these in-hospital measurements has been brought into question by recent research by thoracic and sleep medicine expert Dr. Wen-Te Liu. Dr. Liu, also an expert in artificial intelligence, is now working to integrate sleep science with IoT connected devices, cloud-based AI processing, physical and environmental sensing, and a large patient database, to build a comprehensive system for monitoring, predicting, and treating sleep disorders. The system is made possible by technological and processing advances, and is set to move monitoring and treatment of sleep disorders out of the hospital and into the home – a paradigm shift that will streamline doctors’ workflow and improve patient outcomes.
Asthma
Severe Asthma
Airway remodeling
研究簡介
TMU’s “A-Team”, Working Together to Unravel the Mystery of Asthma- Asthma is responsible for reduced quality of life for around 400 million people worldwide. Fighting this respiratory disease is TMU’s “A-Team” – a group of top researchers brought together and led by TMU’s School of Respiratory Therapy Dr. Bing-Chang Chen. In their multi-fronted attack on asthma, Dr. Chen’s expert team is probing the underlying molecular mechanisms of inflammation and airway fibrosis, neurophysiological and autoimmune signaling pathways, and stem cell therapies. Translation of the team’s basic research is set to improve treatments and create more effective drugs – reducing casualties and improving the lives of those suffering from asthma.
