Yee‐chun Chen - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

Yee-Chun Chen is a distinguished researcher affiliated with the Taiwan Mycology Reference Center at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology, part of the National Health Research Institutes in Miaoli County, Taiwan. Additionally, Chen is associated with the Division of Infectious Diseases in the Department of Internal Medicine at the National Taiwan University Hospital and College of Medicine in Taipei, Taiwan. This dual affiliation underscores Chen's significant role in advancing infectious disease research, particularly in mycology and related areas.

Research Contributions

Yee-Chun Chen has made substantial contributions to the field of infectious diseases, with a particular focus on fungal infections and antimicrobial resistance. Notable research includes the genetic analysis of azole-resistant Candida tropicalis strains in Taiwan, and investigations into the treatment outcomes of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium bloodstream infections. Chen has also been actively involved in COVID-19 research, exploring seroprevalence among healthcare workers, the evolution of neutralizing antibodies in HIV-positive patients, and the forecasting of COVID-19 mortality rates. These studies highlight Chen's commitment to understanding and combating infectious diseases at both local and global levels.
