About Us

       Taipei Medical University was founded in 1960. After over half a century of growth and development, it has flourished into a comprehensive institution with one university and six affiliated hospitals. In 2018, to provide higher-quality and more forward-looking integrated neurological healthcare services, the Taipei Neuromedicine Center was specially established.

Integrated Medical Services

      An elite neuromedicine center integrating research, education, and clinical care in neuromedicine across the three affiliated hospitals of Taipei Medical University.

       Comprehensive, Multidisciplinary Neuromedicine Team Services: Specialized treatment teams are formed based on various common neurological conditions, providing unified care for all patients, regardless of whether their needs are surgical or non-surgical.

      Centralized Medical Resources Benefiting Patients: The center is equipped with the most advanced neuromedicine treatment instruments and a highly specialized, comprehensive neuromedicine team, offering the highest quality and most complete treatment solutions for patients with various neurological diseases.

       The Largest Neuromedicine Team: The center has 37 attending neurosurgeons, 35 attending neurologists, and additional specialists in neuroradiology, rehabilitation, and psychiatry, with over 100 attending physicians in total, making it the largest clinical neuromedicine team in the country.

Shared Medical and Human Resources

       This center integrates the personnel and medical equipment resources of the three affiliated hospitals of Taipei Medical University. Patients can receive treatment from doctors at any of the three hospitals using the facilities of any hospital, aiming for the most effective treatment outcomes.

       Resource Integration for Precision Medical Services: The center brings together nearly one hundred specialists in neurology, neurosurgery, radiology, rehabilitation, and psychiatry from the three affiliated hospitals—Taipei Medical University Hospital, Wanfang Hospital, and Shuang Ho Hospital. With a large, comprehensive multidisciplinary neuromedicine team, advanced treatment equipment, and optimized specialized clinics, the center leverages the combined resources of the hospital and university to provide patients with the highest quality, integrated medical services.

Taipei Medical University Healthcare System: The Crucial Role of Neuromedicine

       Since Professor Chiang Yung-Hsiao took office as the Director of the Taipei Neuromedicine Center on December 1, 2023, he has shouldered the responsibility of integrating neuromedicine within the Taipei Medical University healthcare system, aiming for it to become the institution's second hallmark after cancer treatment. Director Chiang noted that, compared to other fields, neuromedicine is a relatively late-developing discipline. Thanks to advancements in the computer industry and the advent of CT and MRI technology, neuromedicine has only seen rapid growth in recent decades. International experiences have shown that resource integration is a significant trend, which is precisely the reason behind establishing the Neuromedicine Center at Taipei Medical University.

       Multidisciplinary Collaboration for Precision Medicine Integration: This center has established the most comprehensive departments, including neuro-oncology, radiosurgery, cerebrovascular disease, neuro-rehabilitation, degenerative neurological diseases, spinal disorders, neuroimmunology and peripheral neuropathy, pain management, pediatric neurology, neurotrauma and intensive care, vertigo, sleep disorders, headaches, epilepsy, among others, totaling fifteen divisions. By strengthening clinical integration and fostering collaborative treatment policy discussions, the center aims to provide patients with the highest quality and most comprehensive medical care.

Asia's First ROSA Robotic Surgical Navigation System in Sync with International Standards

       Taipei Neuromedicine Center Pioneers Asia'sFirst ROSA
Robotic Surgical Navigation SystemIn 2018, the Taipei Neuromedicine Center became the first in Asia to introduce the ROSA robotic surgical navigation system. Alongside the establishment of a ROSA robotic surgery training center, the center has formed specialized teams, the ROSA Brain Team and the ROSA Spine Team, to provide highly precise treatments for spinal conditions, brain tumors, and cerebrovascular surgeries.

       The HYBRID OPERATION ROOM offers a unique approach, enabling complex procedures such as vascular interventions and intraoperative angiography and MRI scanning, distinct from traditional setups. In the pursuit of minimally invasive surgical techniques, the center has invited Professor Pan Hong-Chi to lead the Gamma Knife Team and established an automated navigation brain surgery team using the ROSA robotic arm. This integrated approach spans preoperative planning, precise intraoperative localization, and surgical execution, bringing medical technology up to international standards.

      Cultivating Talent and Grounding in Education: In terms of teaching and research integration, the Taipei Neuromedicine Center works closely with Taipei Medical University. Clinical physicians and university faculty collaboratively design and develop research projects, conducting trials with domestic and international academic institutions. Industry-academic partnerships are also promoted, encouraging clinical teams to host national and international conferences or large-scale neuromedicine seminars. Additionally, a neuroscience institute has been established, offering joint training programs for new students to actively foster talent in clinical and basic research, with a commitment to cultivating and nurturing education at its roots.
