His surgical interests include performing micro-TESE for ICSI or ROSI, microsurgical vasectomy reversal, vasoepididymostomy, microsurgical varicocele repair, and the correction of Peyronie’s disease. He treats hypogonadism in males, including patients with age-related decline and congenital conditions such as Klinefelter syndrome and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. He also treats patients with erectile dysfunction of various causes and prostate cancer.
His primary research focus is on the target organs of testosterone, especially how alterations in the hormonal environment affect spermatogenesis. He employs innovative approaches in treating patients with non-obstructive azoospermia, such as introducing micro-TESE and real-time touch print smears of testicular specimens as diagnostic tools. This maximizes the chances of successful embryo transfer while minimizing unnecessary risks to both male and female partners.
He served as the Chair and Director of the Department of Urology at Taipei Veterans General Hospital for six years, where he developed a fellowship training program for male infertility and built a collaborative service platform with gynecologists for infertile couples. Since 2025, he has served as the Superintendent of NYCU Hospital in Yilan.

2011-2016 Associate Professor, Fudan University
2011-2009 Assistant Professor, Fudan University
2004-2009 Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Ph.D.
Research Interests:
Successful human reproduction requires normal development of oocyte, sperm and early embryos. The
abnormality and dysfunction in any of these processes will result in infertility. However, because of
various reasons, the mechanistic understanding of human oocyte, fertilization and embryonic development
is very limited. We mainly focus on molecular mechanism of physiology and pathophysiology in the
development of human oocytes, fertilization and early embryos. Over the past a few years, we focused on
investigating genetic reasons of oocyte maturation arrest, fertilization failure and early embryonic
arrest (Science, 2023; N Engl J Med,
2016; J Clin Invest, 2023; Science
Transl Med, 2019; Am J Hum Genet, 2016/2017/2018/2020,
etc). We also strive to elucidate phyiological mechanism regulating human oocyte spindle assembly
(Science, 2022; Science, 2024).
By using methodology of medical genetics, cell biology as well as functional genomics, we seek to elucidate the physiological mechanism regulation human oocyte spindle assembly, identify disease-causing mutant genes for abnormality in oocyte maturation, fertilization and embryonic development and figure out corresponding pathological mechanism. These findings contribute to the understanding of human oocyte development and lay the foundation for precision medicine for infertile patients.
