陳玉如

中央研究院化研究所（特聘研究員）

Yu-Ju Chen joined the Institute of Chemistry of Academia Sinica in 1999, served as the Director (2013-2021) and is currently a Distinguished Research Fellow. She actively contributed to academia services, serving as the current President of the Chemical Society located in Taipei, President of Human Proteome Organization (HUPO)-largest international society in proteomics (2021-2022), and Associate Editor of “Analytical Chemistry”. With great passion to reveal disease network, she is one of the pioneering scientists in establishing mass spectrometry-based proteomics in Taiwan. In particular, she is interested in applying these tools for in-depth exploration of the proteome network in biology and diseases. Her technology of nanoprobe-based mass spectrometry was also translated into a start-up company for cancer diagnosis with recognition of National Innovation Award in 2021. She had assembled a multi-organization and multi-disciplinary team to launch the Taiwan Cancer Moonshot project in 2016 under the collaboration framework of the International Cancer Proteogenome Consortium (ICPC) led by National Cancer Institute, USA. The project aims to establish and translate deep proteogenomics data into precision oncology for emerging cancers in Taiwan, including lung cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, and pancreatic cancer. The first study has revealed the pathogenesis and progression of non-smoking lung cancer patients in Taiwan (Cell, Cover Story).
