Mind-Body Interface Lab (MBI-Lab) at China Medical University Hospital, Taichung¹, Taiwan²

*Introduction of MBI-Lab

The Mind-Body Interface (MBI) Laboratory³ at China Medical University Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan invites applications worldwide for postdoctoral fellowships. Conducted by Kuan-Pin Su, MD, PhD, our laboratory emphasizes interdisciplinary clinical and basic science research in fields spanning biological psychiatry, psychopharmacology, psychoneuroimmunology, and behavioral neuroscience within Taiwan and internationally. Our research team aims to explore the underlying biological mechanism of depression by conducting studies which focus on the anti-depressant effect of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Recently, we have extended our collaboration with Department of Medical Imaging to further investigate the theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TBS) treatment on depression patients. Our research is mainly funded by the National Health Research Institutes and the National Science Council of Taiwan and the China Medical University Hospital.
