Program

Executive Summary：
Prof. Yi-Chung Lee is a senior neurologist of Division of Peripheral Nerve System Disorders, the Neurological Institute, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan. He is also a professor of Neurology, Yang Ming Chao Tung University, Taiwan. His clinical and research efforts have focused on the genetic diagnosis, molecular mechanism, epidemiology and management of several adult-onset inherited neurodegenerative diseases. His group has identified several novel disease genes, including KCND3 for SCA, GNB4 and INSC for CMT, and WARS1 for distal hereditary motor neuropathy. His group has also delineated the clinical spectrum and genetic landscapes of CADASIL, NIID, CMT, ALS, and HSP in Taiwan.

Executive Summary：
Dr. Jia-Ying Sung is a Professor of Neurology at Taipei Medical University, with joint appointments in the PhD Program in Medical Neuroscience and clinical service at Taipei Municipal Wanfang Hospital. She had served as Director of Neurological Department of Taipei Municipal Wanfang Hospital, Director of the Peripheral Nerve Disorders at the Taipei Neuroscience Institute, and Director of Clinical Research Center at Wanfang Hospital. Dr. Sung earned his MD degree from Taipei Medical University and later completed a PhD in Neurology at Chiba University, Japan. Her research focuses on neuromuscular disorders, peripheral nerve pathophysiology, and advanced neurophysiological techniques, with particular expertise in nerve excitability testing. She has published extensively on topics including diabetic neuropathy, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), POEMS syndrome, fibromyalgia, and axonal excitability as a biomarker of neuropathic disease. Her research profile demonstrates a sustained impact in clinical neurophysiology and neuromuscular medicine, with numerous peer-reviewed publications and international citations. Dr. Sung is also an active contributor to international neurology conferences, invited as a speaker and moderator on topics related to neurophysiological study, autoimmune neuropathies and advanced electrodiagnostic methods.

Executive Summary：
Dr. Kuan-Lin Lai graduated from National Yang-Ming University in Taipei, Taiwan, in 2002, and completed his neurology residency at Taipei Veterans General Hospital. Since 2006, he has served as an attending physician and neurological consultant. From 2021 to 2023, Dr. Lai held the position of Section Director for the Peripheral Nervous System at the Taiwan Neurological Society. Dr. Lai’s research focuses on the electrophysiology and pathophysiology of headache disorders, particularly migraine. He has employed a range of electrophysiological techniques to investigate migraine mechanisms, including high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) in sensory evoked potentials, EEG complexity analysis, and structural and functional MRI to assess anatomical changes and connectivity alterations. Additionally, he has explored the therapeutic potential of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in various neurological conditions, such as migraine, stroke, and parkinsonism.
