Executive Summary：
Dr. Chin-Hsien Lin is Professor of Neurology at National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) and a physician-scientist dedicated to unraveling the genetic and molecular mechanisms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and related neurodegenerative disorders. She earned her M.D. from National Taiwan University, completed neurology residency at NTUH, obtained a Ph.D. from Academia Sinica studying LRRK2 mutations in Drosophila models, and pursued postdoctoral training in translational neuroscience at the University of British Columbia.

Dr. Lin’s research integrates genetic, cellular, and animal model studies with clinical and translational investigations. She explores the molecular pathways of neuronal degeneration, α-synuclein aggregation, and neuroinflammation, and leads one of Asia’s largest longitudinal cohorts of PD and atypical parkinsonism to enable biomarker discovery across genetic, molecular, imaging, and clinical platforms. Her recent work focuses on the gut–brain axis and its contribution to PD pathogenesis, aiming to improve early diagnosis and develop mechanism-based, disease-modifying therapies.

In addition to her research and clinical practice, Dr. Lin serves as Vice Chair of the Department of Medical Research at NTUH. She has held key leadership roles, including President of the Taiwan Movement Disorders Society, and actively contributes to the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS) through the Executive Committee of its Asian and Oceanian Section, the Evidence-Based Medicine Committee, and the Basic Science Committee. Through these efforts, she promotes international collaboration, education, and scientific advancement in movement disorders.

Lecture Abstract：
Conducting research as a physician presents both unique challenges and rewarding opportunities. For many early-career clinicians, the path toward research can seem uncertain, often constrained by time, resources, and competing clinical responsibilities. In this talk, I will share my personal journey of integrating clinical practice with scientific inquiry, from identifying clinically meaningful research questions at the bedside to building collaborative, multidisciplinary teams that can translate ideas into impactful studies. Drawing from experiences in both hospital and academic settings, I will highlight key lessons learned on time management, mentorship, collaboration, and perseverance in the face of setbacks. Practical strategies for balancing patient care with research productivity, securing funding, and fostering international partnerships will also be discussed. Through this personal perspective, I hope to encourage young clinicians to embrace research as an integral part of medical practice and to demonstrate how physician-scientists can bridge the gap between clinical observation and scientific discovery.

Lecture Abstract：
Being a hospital-based neurologist is both a privilege and a challenge. The joys come from those moments when a timely diagnosis and acute intervention change the trajectory of a patient’s life, and from contributing to scientific knowledge that advances stroke prevention and care. Yet, the sorrows are equally present—long nights on call in the ward, the relentless pressure of responding to stroke codes in the emergency department, and the emotional toll of making critical decisions under time constraints. These experiences highlight not only the intensity of neurological care but also the human cost borne by both patients and physicians. Drawing on my experiences in stroke care, guideline development, and real-world data research, I will reflect on how to balance clinical duties with academic growth, and how to sustain motivation in the face of systemic burdens. Finally, I will share suggestions for the younger generation of neurologists: how to navigate the medical system and advocate for one’s own rights, how to protect oneself from the disruptions of medical disputes, and how to manage personal finance and investments wisely so that clinical work can be pursued with fewer worries. My hope is that these reflections will resonate with colleagues and inspire collective efforts to improve both the science and humanity of neurology.

Lecture Abstract：
Neurology is one of the most interdisciplinary fields in medicine, requiring integration of clinical knowledge with data from imaging, electrophysiology, and genomics. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a powerful catalyst to bridge these domains, enabling neurologists to translate complex data into actionable insights for both patient care and research. My professional journey reflects this spirit of cross-disciplinary learning and innovation. With formal training in medicine, electrical engineering, and chemical engineering, I have pursued research that combines systems biology, computational optimization, and clinical neurology. This work has led to AI-based methods for seizure detection from EEG, identification of therapeutic targets in Parkinson’s disease, and biomarker discovery using advanced modeling. These experiences illustrate how engineering and computational thinking can open new possibilities in neurological research. Clinically, AI applications are already demonstrating value: assisting in the early detection of stroke and dementia, automating medical documentation, and supporting timely, precise decision-making. Beyond these immediate gains, generative AI and disease “digital twins” are emerging as tools to simulate disease trajectories, optimize interventions, and accelerate clinical trials. The future of AI in neurology will depend not only on technology but on cultivating interdisciplinary collaboration among clinicians, engineers, and data scientists. By embracing cross-domain learning and research, we can transform neurology into a field that is more predictive, preventive, and patient-centered—delivering impact both at the bedside and across the healthcare system.

Lecture Abstract：
With advanced progress of neurological diagnosis and therapy, the clinical load increases year by year for neurologists in Taiwan. Although novel treatment provides new hope for patients with neurological diseases and creates attractive research topics in neuroscience, it also impacts the quality of life of our residents and attending physician on the first-line clinical practice. Recently, the Taiwan Neurological Society has investigated the current problems and potential solutions from our members and developed a thorough plan to overcome this challenge. It includes 5 sections of programs: (1) Improve the quality of neurological education and encourage research: Returning to the original intention of choosing neurology; (2) Strive for reasonable health insurance reimbursements to ensure fairness in business compensation: equitable payment for hard work; (3) Reduce the workload of neurologists and improve administrative efficiency: Diminish overwork; (4) Enhancing the value and professional role of neurologists: Emphasizing professional value; and (5) Improving the local clinics environment for neurology: Providing diverse pathways and facilitating patient triage to local clinics settings. During the meeting, any constructive suggestion is highly appreciated to improve our neurological field. Let us work together to face and reverse the current difficult neurological environment in Taiwan.
