Professor
Hui-Wen Chiu received her Ph.D. in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health, College of Medicine from National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) in 2011. Dr. Chiu has been a postdoctoral fellow for three years at NCKU. In 2014, she was employed as an Assistant Professor at Taipei Medical University (TMU). Dr. Chiu is a Professor at the Graduate Institute of Clinical Medicine, College of Medicine, TMU in 2021. Her research topics include nephrology, toxicology, cell biology, and cancer biology. Recently, she focused on studying the effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on human health. Furthermore, she was invited to write a review article about this topic for Nature Reviews Nephrology (IF=41.5, 1/88 in Urology & Nephrology).
Her specialties are nephrology, toxicology, cell biology, and cancer biology. She uses omic data, bioinformatics and high-throughput virtual screening methods to study toxicology, kidney diseases and cancer biology. Recently, the plastic waste matter has been relevant to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). She focused on studying the effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on human health. In addition, she devotes the 3Rs alternatives to minimize the number of animals and partially replace the use of animals.
