Biography

Distinguished Prof. Kuen-Jer Tsai received his Ph.D. degree in National Defense Medical Center/Academia Sinica (Taiwan) in 2002. He finished his post-doctoral fellowship at Institute of Molecular Biology in Academia Sinica in 2009. Now he is a Distinguished Professor in Institute of Clinical Medicine in National Cheng Kung University. The major research of his laboratory is focus on dementia associated neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, frontaltemporal lobe degeneration, ischemia stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage…etc., nowadays he is devoted to investigate the molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis and develop new medical strategies for neurodegenerative diseases. In his laboratory, he makes use of research techniques from molecular biology and cell biology, besides; he also combines physiological methods and disease animal models for his study. He is also interested to investigate and understand the basic functions of genes/proteins in brain and the correlations with neurodegenerative diseases.
