Speaker Profile

Executive Summary：
Dr. Tu-Hsueh Yeh is a distinguished neurologist, clinician-scientist, and academic leader with expertise in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and movement disorders, neurogenetics, and translational neuroscience. He received his M.D. from Taipei Medical University and completed his neurology training at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (CGMH). He subsequently earned his Ph.D. in Clinical Medical Sciences from Chang Gung University, where his research focused on glutamatergic neurotransmission and neurophysiology. From 2006 to 2008, he pursued postdoctoral and clinical research training at Washington University in St. Louis under Professor David H. Gutmann, investigating NF1-related neural development, tumorigenesis, and genetic biomarkers.
Building on this foundation, Dr. Yeh previously established a neurogenetics laboratory at CGMH. His major research focus on elucidating the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying PD and other movement disorders, developing experimental disease models, identifying biomarkers and genetic modifiers of disease phenotypes, and investigating mechanisms of neuroprotection. His translational research aims to bridge genetic discoveries and molecular pathways with clinically meaningful biomarkers, patient stratification, and precision therapeutic strategies.
Dr. Yeh has held numerous academic and institutional leadership positions and currently serves as Director of Medical Education at Taipei Medical University Hospital. He is President of the Taiwan Movement Disorder Society and has held leadership roles in the Taiwan Neurological Society and Taiwan Headache Society.
Beyond academic medicine, Dr. Yeh has demonstrated a strong commitment to global health. He let the Health Care Improvement Project of Taiwan Medical Mission in the Kingdom of Eswatini, advancing postgraduate medical education, healthcare capacity building, and sustainable international medical collaboration.
