Executive Summary：
Dr. Tu-Hsueh Yeh is a neurologist and educator with expertise in neurogenetics, neurodegenerative diseases, and movement disorders. He received his M.D. from Taipei Medical University and completed neurology training at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (CGMH), where he began practicing in 1999. He earned his Ph.D. in neurophysiology from Chang Gung University in 2005, researching glutamate receptors and transporters after cerebral ischemia.
From 2006 to 2008, Dr. Yeh was a research fellow at Washington University in St. Louis, studying the NF1 gene’s role in neural development and tumorigenesis. Returning to Taiwan, he established a neurogenetics lab at CGMH. He also completed advanced training at Harvard Medical School and Thomas Jefferson University in autonomic and headache disorders.
Dr. Yeh’s clinical focus includes Parkinson’s disease and related neurodegenerative diseases. His research emphasizes neuroprotective mechanisms, experimental disease models, and genetic underpinnings of neurodegeneration and brain tumors.
He has held leadership roles including Chief of the Movement Disorders Division at CGMH, Associate Professor and Director of Neurology at Taipei Medical University, and Chair of Neurology at Taipei Medical University Hospital. He is currently Director of Medical Education at TMUH and Vice President of Teaching at the Taipei Neuroscience Institute.
Dr. Yeh serves as President of the Taiwan Movement Disorder Society and has long contributed to national neurology and headache societies. In 2022–2023, he led a health improvement initiative in Eswatini, Africa, focusing on postgraduate medical education and public health collaboration.
