Plenary Speaker

Ultrasound and Translational Pulmonary Medicine
Pan-Chyr Yang
MD, PhD, President, National Taiwan University

Dr. Yang currently is the President of National Taiwan University and Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine, National Taiwan University College of Medicine. His major research interests are pulmonary and critical care medicine, molecular and cellular biology, lung cancer genomics and personalized cancer therapy. He was elected member of Academia Sinica in 2006 because of his contributions in leading the translational research and implementation of precision therapy for lung cancer in Taiwan, which have significantly improved the survival in lung cancer patients. His research group identified novel genes and pathways that associated with lung cancer progression. They established new platform for development of lung cancer stem cell directed therapy and discovered the autocrine-paracrine interaction between the lung cancer stem cell with cancer microenvironment. They also identified specific gene expression and microRNA biomarkers that might be beneficial for precision therapy of lung cancer patients.
