Position Title
Assistant Project Scientist
Education
- Ph.D., Biochemical Sciences, National Taiwan University, Taiwan
Research Interests
Dr. Hsu's research involves studying the molecular basis of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) in metabolic regulation. In particular, he uses state-of-the-art genetic (animal models of human disease), biochemical and pharmacological approaches to investigate the role of PTPs in diabetes and its complications.
