Chia-Chen Lu, Ph.D.

Interactions between symbiotic microbes and the hosts they colonize are central to both health and disease development in hosts. However, whether there is a causative relationship between gut microbiota composition and chronic inflammatory lung diseases development is not totally clear. Dr. Lu is currently working in Fu Jen Catholic University as a head of Respiratory Therapy Department. Her primary interests are in interaction of microbes with the host respiratory tracts. These include acute or chronic inflammatory lung diseases such as COPD and lung cancer. In the future, the development of probiotic-based immune therapy for amelioration of respiratory tracts related diseases will be the main focus.
