A Talk withProfessor Chen Ding-Shinn-On being a physician scientist

There are many ways you can describe Professor Chen Ding-Shinn: a teacher, a doctor, a researcher, a headmaster, Taiwan’s “Emperor of liver”, a mentor, a leader. As the tutor of many doctors across Taiwan, Professor Chen seeks not fame, but the need to do more, even after his massive discovery in the field of medical microbiology. Professor Chen is known to most for his contributions to Taiwan’s current healthy state of condition in the effects the Hepatitis B virus on the Taiwanese population. However, even with this success, another dream of the professor is to educate the next generation of doctors and put them on the right path. Professor Chen values the effort of passing down correct thoughts from one generation of doctor to the next very greatly. He himself learned his ways of being a doctor and researcher from his mentor, Professor Song Ruilou, and wants to do the same for his own students as well.
