"From Research to Revolutionizing Disease? — A New Hope for Neurodegenerative Disorders

Dr. Yun-Ru Chen (Ruby Chen), Deputy Director at the Genomics Research Center, Academia Sinica, and daughter of Taiwan's legendary "Liver King" Ding-Shinn Chen, is taking a bold stand against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and ALS — inspired by witnessing her grandmother's 20-year struggle with dementia.

She's not just continuing a legacy — she's redefining the future of brain health.

With her expertise in protein folding, she's breaking new ground by unveiling the pivotal role of TDP-43 in disease progression and pioneering the TDP-O monoclonal antibody, a potential game-changer in ALS diagnosis and treatment.

"A doctor can save one life at a time. A scientist? Millions." by Academician Chen, Ding-Shinn.

Her work is proof that science can rewrite the future.
