Chia-I Shen, MD

Dr. Chia-I Shen is a clinical physician who graduated from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University in Taiwan. She completed her residency in pulmonology and thoracic oncology, now specializing in the treatment of lung cancer at Taipei Veterans General Hospital.

As a physician dedicated to lung cancer care, she is actively involved in both patient management and multiple clinical trials. To further expand her expertise, she enrolled in the joint Ph.D. program at the Institute of Clinical Medicine, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, where she began her basic research training. Her primary research interests include drug resistance, EGFR/ALK mutations, and the epigenetic mechanisms underlying lung cancer progression.

Motivated by a strong interest in epigenetic regulation of drug resistance and the emerging role of SWI/SNF complex and SMARCA4 in non-small cell lung cancer, Chia-I joined the lab as a visiting scholar in 2024 to deepen her understanding and contribute to advances in the field.
