Dr. Tao-Hsin Tung is an accomplished researcher with expertise spanning public health, medical research, and criminology. He earned a Ph.D. in Public Health from National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan, completing his doctoral studies in 1996 and 2005. He also holds an SJD in Crime Prevention and Correction from Central Police University, Taiwan, awarded in 2011 and 2018.His interdisciplinary academic background integrates medical science and law, enriching both his research and teaching activities. In 2004, Dr. Tung began his career as an Associate Researcher at Cheng-Hsin General Hospital, later becoming a full Researcher in 2008. His work there focused on clinical research, epidemiology, and health education.In 2021, he joined the Evidence-Based Medicine Center at Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province, affiliated with Wenzhou Medical University. His current research focuses on clinical epidemiology, biostatistics, evidence-based medicine, and disease screening.Dr. Tung also explores medical law and criminology, bridging healthcare and legal systems to inform policy development and ethical practice. His research addresses issues such as disease prevention strategies, medical safety, and crime prevention in medical contexts. He has authored numerous scientific publications and regularly contributes to academic journals and conferences worldwide. His collaborative projects often involve international researchers across health and legal disciplines. With deep knowledge of biostatistics and evidence-based medicine, Dr. Tung plays a vital role in shaping clinical guidelines and screening methods that enhance healthcare decision-making. His dual expertise in law and medicine allows him to address complex ethical and regulatory challenges in modern healthcare systems.
