Department of Neurosurgery, Neurological Institute, Taichung Veterans General Hospital
taichung, Taiwan (Republic of China)
My name is Chiung-Chyi Shen. Since I took the post of director of neurosurgery in Taichung Veterans General Hospital in 2004, I have devoted to the management that it becomes the largest neurosurgical center in the center of Taiwan, with 29 neurosurgery attending physicians, and the assessment is ranked the second, next to National Taiwan University Hospital. I expect to continuously learn neuroscience and work for Taichung Veterans General Hospital to achieve the professional objective. Two articles, Characterization of endogenous neural progenitor cells after experimental ischemic stroke and Intravenous implanted neural stem cells migrate to injury site, reduce infarct volume, and improve behavior after cerebral ischemia, were published in Current Neurovascular Research in 2010, and Transplantation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells for treatment of focal cerebral ischemia was issued. In the three-year (2010-2012) university collaboration project, six studies on rat neurectomy treated with nerve conduit and stem cells or low-power laser were published in Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A., Journal of biomedical materials research. Part B, Injury, and Journal of Neuroscience and Neuroengineering. I expect devote to the work on minimally invasive microsurgeries of brain and spine and minimally invasive neurosurgeries, including the prevention and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases and cerebra stroke, the development of functional neurosurgery, like brain tissue transplantation for Parkinson’s disease and stereotactic brain ablation for tremor, cancer pain, epilepsy, and disorder, deep brain stimulation for involuntary movement. My research has been published in high-level academic journals. He has authored or co-authored well over 105 papers and has more than 300 presentations and more than 8088 citations (h-index:27). Since 2001, I has given lectures in various countries and several corpora and on-site operation simulation instructions have been held.
