Yung-Tsung Chen, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor in the Department of Food Science at the National Taiwan Ocean University, Taiwan. He received his training as a microbiologist at National Taiwan University and subsequently worked as a senior researcher at a probiotic manufacturing company in Taiwan, where he focused on functional probiotic development. His current research employs both Caenorhabditis elegans and mouse models to investigate the effects of lactic acid bacteria on host physiology. In addition, he explores the health benefits and underlying mechanisms of fermented foods, aiming to bridge microbiology, food science, and functional nutrition.
現任國立臺灣海洋大學食品科學系助理教授，於國立臺灣大學接受微生物學訓練，並曾任職於台灣益生菌製造公司擔任資深研究員，專注於功能性益生菌的研發工作。現階段研究以線蟲 (Caenorhabditis elegans) 與老鼠動物模式為核心，探討乳酸菌對宿主生理功能的影響，並進一步研究發酵食品之健康功效及其作用機制，期望能結合微生物學、食品科學與功能性營養領域，推動基礎研究與應用之發展。
