Huey-Kang Sytwu, a leader from Taiwan’s military medical system, may carry the commanding presence of a general, but in biotech circles, he is known for his warmth—always greeting others with a humble bow and a friendly chat.

As an immunology expert, he pioneered research on Non-Obese Diabetic (NOD) mice, shedding new light on the mechanisms behind Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). His discoveries have shaped new approaches for prevention and treatment, solidifying his status as a global authority in immunology.

With the discipline of a soldier and the wisdom of a statesman, Sytwu doesn't just push forward with unwavering determination. Instead, he takes a collaborative, selfless approach—focusing on Taiwan’s biomedical ecosystem and empowering others along the way.
