He went to London in 1996 for Ph.D. study at the Institute of Psychiatry, University of London, United Kingdom, supervised by a famous psychiatrist in Europe, Professor Sir Robin Murray. His Ph.D. thesis investigated the role of GABAA receptor genes in the development of alcohol dependence. He earned his Ph.D. degree in 2003. He was an assistant principle investigator at the Center of Neuropsychiatric Research, National Health Research Institutes, Taiwan, where he started to understand the inflammatory nature of schizophrenia.
