Professor Tak-Wah Wong MD, Ph.D. works in the Department of Dermatology, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Center of Applied Nanomedicine, at the National Cheng Kung University Medical Center of Taiwan. He is one of the founding members and sits on the board of directors of the Taiwanese Society of Investigative Dermatology. Dr. Wong dedicates his research to photobiology, oncology, infectious diseases, wound healing, and abnormal scarring. As Taiwan’s pioneer in the use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) to treat skin cancer since 1999, he received a five-year physician-scientist grant in 2000 from Taiwan’s National Health Research Institute and spent two years as a visiting scientist with Professor Thomas Dougherty and Dr. Allan Oseroff’s team at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute PDT Center in New York. Since then, the research of PDT in his lab has been extended from neoplastic diseases to infectious diseases, wound healing, and aesthetic areas, recently discovering that PDT increases drug susceptibility to antibiotics. Working together with scientists in multidisciplinary research fields including medical engineering, nanotechnology, ophthalmology, microbiology, and immunology, Dr. Wong and his team are dedicated to advancing the basic research of PTD and its clinical applications.
