Statements of Research Interests
Significant Contributions to Science: My research has made significant contributions to understanding the mechanisms of cardiovascular and endothelial dysfunctions, testicular development and lung cancer cell deaths. For example, my 2020 study on endothelial dysfunction has provided critical insights into the apoptotic, necrotic, and senescent pathways induced by oxidative stress, which has been cited by subsequent research exploring protective measures against such stress. Other significant contributions to science include demonstrating that a standardized extract of Ginkgo Biloba suppresses doxorubicin-induced oxidative stress and p53-mediated mitochondrial apoptosis in rat testes. Additionally, my 2015 publication on shikonin's effects on lung cancer cells has influenced further studies on chemoresistance and combination therapies.

Researches of Pharmacology and Toxicology using Cell and Experimental Animal Models:
One of my researches and teaching is focusing on “Experimental animal research in cardiovascular, testicular, and lung functions” which involves studying the progression and treatment of diseases using animal models. These research areas aimed to understand the mechanisms of disease development and spread, identify potential therapeutic targets, and evaluate the efficacy and safety of new treatments. By utilizing animal models, my research can mimic human disease conditions, allowing for in-depth investigation of cardiovascular diseases, testicular development and the metastatic pathways of lung cancer to colorectal cancer. These researches are crucial for translating findings into clinical applications, ultimately leading to improved treatments and patient cares.

Researches in Upper and Lower Airway Remodeling Mechanism of Asthma:
In the study of “allergy and clinical immunology”, my researches were focused on understanding the biological and environmental factors that trigger and exacerbate the condition. Through detailed mechanistic studies, I seek to identify new therapeutic targets and improve management strategies for asthma patients. This work is crucial in developing better treatment protocols and enhancing the quality of life for those suffering from this chronic respiratory disease.
-
Researches in Complementary and Alternative Medicines:
My research interests also centered on the field of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), particularly examining how various non-pharmacological interventions can enhance mental health and well-being in diverse populations. Through my studies, including the investigation of CAM practices used by middle-aged to older Taiwanese adults during the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of creative activities for anxiety reduction in community-dwelling older adults, I aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of these approaches. Additionally, my ongoing work explores the impact of Emotional Freedom Techniques and footbaths on anxiety relief and physiological responses, highlighting the crucial role of CAM in promoting resilience and improving health outcomes in both chronic pain patients and young adults.
