Biography

I am a professor of Department of Clinical Laboratory Sciences and Medical Biotechnology, College of Medicine, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan. Our lab has been engaged in the study of uropathogenic Proteus mirabilis, investigating drug resistance, virulence factor expression, pathogenesis, gene regulation and signal transduction for more than 10 years. P. mirabilis Is an important pathogen of the urinary tract. We found that the bacterial two-component system, small regulatory RNAs and sigma factors such as RpoS, RpoN and RpoE are involved in the virulence of P. mirabilis. I was always invited as a conference speaker for our significant findings. Recently, we found copper homeostasis is associated with virulence factor expression.
