Dr. Eugene C. Lin is an accomplished researcher and educator in the field of chemistry and biochemistry. Currently serving as an associate professor at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, National Chung Cheng University, Eugene’s academic journey spans continents—from earning his Ph.D. in Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego to his subsequent postdoctoral research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. His expertise lies in bioimaging and spectroscopic techniques with a special focus on molecular imaging methods that bridge the gap between chemical analysis and clinical applications. With a passion for innovative teaching and mentorship, Eugene has developed engaging courses (including biophysical chemistry) and has guided numerous graduate and undergraduate students to success in both research and competitive forums.

The laboratory under Dr. Lin's leadership is dedicated to advancing the emerging field of radiometabolomics—a discipline that integrates metabolic spectroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and quantitative statistical analysis to unravel biological and clinical phenomena at the molecular level. The lab is at the forefront of developing novel imaging techniques, such as cholesterol‐weighted MRI and chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) methods, that capture subtle metabolic variations in tissues. By designing innovative in vitro platforms (including three‐dimensional cell spheroid systems) and refining extraction protocols for cells, spheroids, and tissues, the group not only pushes the boundaries of imaging science but also lays the groundwork for more precise disease classification and diagnosis.
