Introduction

Dr. Ming-Hsien Chiang (Vincent)  is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutritional Science at Fu Jen Catholic University. He holds a Ph.D. in Life Sciences from the National Defense Medical Center, with extensive interdisciplinary expertise spanning nutritional biology, epidemiology, and vaccinology. As a former Principal Investigator at mProbe Inc. and Assistant Professor at NDMC, he has led translational research on multi-drug resistant bacteria, advanced risk prediction modeling using multi-omics and AI, and innovated educational methods in anatomy and public health. Dr. Chiang has received multiple prestigious awards including the MERCK Young Scientist Award, the Tien-Te Lee Biomedical Merit Award, and serves as a mentor in the ASM Future Leaders Mentorship Program.

Dr. Chiang leads the Translational Vaccinology and Multi-Omics Precision Health Lab, where research bridges fundamental science with clinical application. The lab focuses on developing next-generation vaccines, monoclonal antibody therapies, and predictive models for infectious and chronic diseases. Using platforms such as LC-MS/MS, immunoproteomics, and bioinformatics, the lab explores molecular signatures in human health and disease. The team collaborates with clinical researchers, data scientists, and engineers to translate omics discoveries into innovative diagnostic and therapeutic solutions.


Research Topics

Multi-Omics-Based Risk Prediction
Development of AI-driven diagnostic tools integrating proteomics, metabolomics, and genomics to identify early disease biomarkers and stratify risk in chronic conditions.

Vaccine and mAb Development
Design of subunit vaccines and monoclonal antibodies targeting multidrug-resistant bacteria such as Acinetobacter baumannii and Elizabethkingia anophelis using reverse vaccinology and immunopeptidomics.

Nano-Nutritional Science
Application of nanotechnology in nutrition science to enhance the bioavailability, targeted delivery, and therapeutic potential of bioactive compounds. Current efforts include nanoformulation of nutrients and exploring their impact on metabolic regulation and gut microbiota.

Translational Immunology and Host-Pathogen Interaction
Exploration of immune response mechanisms and antigen discovery to guide novel immunotherapeutic strategies bridging infection and chronic disease prevention.

Medical Education Innovation
Integration of 3D anatomy, virtual reality, and flipped classrooms to enhance interdisciplinary learning outcomes in public health and medical training.
