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.

Executive Summary：
Dr. Chen graduated from Taipei Medical University and completed his neurological residency training at National Taiwan University Hospital in Taipei. Since 2012, he has served as an attending physician and movement disorder specialist in the Department of Neurology at National Taiwan University Hospital Hsinchu Branch. Dr. Chen acquired expertise in microelectrode recording and clinical deep brain stimulation (DBS) techniques under the guidance of Dr. Chun-Hwei Tai at National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) and established DBS system of NTUH Hsinchu in 2015. In the field of non-invasive neurostimulation, he has conducted extensive research on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and patterned repetitive TMS (rTMS) in collaboration with Professor Ying-Zu Huang from 2016. In addition to his clinical expertise, Dr. Chen pursued a research fellowship in Professor Robert Chen’s lab at the Krembil Brain Institute, University of Toronto from 2018 to 2019. His primary research interests focus on neuromodulation and electrophysiological assessment of movement disorders, utilizing techniques such as DBS, TMS, and low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound (TUS). Additionally, he has explored the cortical plasticity effects of TUS and developed a novel patterned repetitive TUS protocol in collaboration with Professor Robert Chen. In 2020, Dr. Chen established his clinical neurophysiology lab, integrating electrophysiological assessments with advanced equipment, including multi-channel EMG, EEG, single/paired TMS, rTMS, evoked potentials, and gait analysis. His research encompasses a broad spectrum of movement disorders, such as parkinsonism, tremor, dystonia, functional movement disorders, and gait abnormalities. Dr. Chen has published numerous influential articles on the principles of electrophysiology in movement disorders and human cortical physiological function. He currently serves as the Deputy Director of the Department of Neurology at National Taiwan University Hospital Hsinchu Branch.
