Brief Biography
Professor Samuel H.H. Chan received his PhD in Physiology from Indiana University in 1971 working on modulation of spinal motoneurons by the brain stem. Following postdoctoral training in Neurology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, he has held academic positions at University of Hong Kong (1973-1977), Indiana University (1977-1982), National University of Singapore (1982-1985), and National Yang-Ming University (1986-1998) in Taipei, Taiwan. In 1997, Professor Chan was appointed the National Chair Professor of Neuroscience, the highest honor bestowed by the Ministry of Education, Taiwan, and was recruited in 1998 to establish and direct a new Center for Neuroscience at the National Sun Yat-sen University in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, where he additionally served as Vice-President for Academic Affairs from 2002 to 2004. He was invited to his current position in 2009 as the Inaugural Director and Distinguished Chair Professor of a new state-of-the-art Center for Translational Research in Biomedical Sciences at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital-Kaohsiung Medical Center. As the Vice-Chairman of the Committee on Research and Development, Chang Gung Medical Foundation since 2012, he also oversees the planning and execution of research activities of the entire Chang Gung Memorial hospital system made up of 6 medical centers with a total of 10,000 beds.
Professor Chan is recognized internationally for his distinguished contributions to central cardiovascular regulatory functions, particularly in translational research on brain death and neurogenic hypertension. He is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards and honors for his research accomplishments, including the Outstanding Commissioned Researcher Award, the highest honor conferred by the National Science Council, Taiwan. He was a member of the Commission on Autonomic Nervous System, IUPS, an inaugural Executive Committee Member of the International Society for Autonomic Neuroscience Research, a member of the Asia-Pacific Regional Committee, International Brain Research Organization (IBRO), a member of the IBRO Advisory Science Program Committee, President of the Pharmacological Society in Taiwan, President of the Neuroscience Society in Taiwan and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Biomedical Science. He is currently President of the Asia Pacific Federation of Pharmacologists, and Editor of the monograph series Translational Research in Biomedicine published by Karger AB in Switzerland.
