Program

Executive Summary：
Dr. Chin-Hsien Lin graduated from College of Medicine, National Taiwan University, and received her neurological residency training in National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH). She received her PhD training from Institute of Molecular Biology, Academia Sinica, and investigated the molecular mechanisms of LRRK2 mutations in neurons by using a Drosophila model system. She received post-doctoral fellowship training in the Center for University of British Columbia, Canada (Dr. Matthew Farrer’s laboratory). Dr. Lin is now a professor in Department of Neurology, National Taiwan University Hospital. Her main academic interests include genetic and molecular biology studies of Parkinson’s disease and related neurodegenerative disorders. She investigated the molecular mechanisms of mutations of Parkinson’s disease or dystonia causative genes in neuronal degeneration by using cellular and animal model systems. She was elected to join the leadership program (LEAP) of international Movement Disorder Society (MDS)-AOS section in 2015. She is the past President of Taiwan Movement Disorders Society and is also joining several committees of MDS, including executive committee of the MDS-AOS section, basic neuroscience committees and evidence-based medicine (EBM) and of MDS.
