涂庭源 Ting-Yuan (TY) TU, PhD
Dr. Ting-Yuan (TY) TU is an Associate Professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) since 2022. He obtained his B.S. degree in Energy and Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Engineering from the National Taipei University of Technology, Taiwan, in 2007, and an M.S. degree in Applied Mechanics from National Taiwan University Taipei, Taiwan in 2009, with a focus on thermal-fluid engineering and MEMS. Dr. TU received his Ph.D. in Mechanobiology from the National University of Singapore, Singapore, in 2015, after pursuing his graduate studies at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology Centre (SMART) in Singapore.
Prior to his academic appointment at NCKU, Dr. TU worked as an Application Scientist at Clearbridge Biomedics, where he developed downstream assays for the analysis of circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood samples. Since joining NCKU as an Assistant Professor in 2016, Dr. TU's research has centered on the development of more realistic biomimetic tumor microenvironments for cancer drug discovery, utilizing in vitro tumor models and 3D tumor invasive co-culture microfluidic platforms. His current research interests continue to focus on cancer drug discovery using these methods.
