Prof. Chou is a retired professor who had served at the Institute of Nuclear Engineering and Science of National Tsing Hua University. Now, she is the consultant of BNCT research at the Nuclear Science and Technology Development Center of National Tsing Hua University.
Prof. Chou’s research is about Radiobiology, Neutron Capture Therapy, and Boron Drug Development. She has been devoted to the research of BNCT since 1992. During the first 10 years of BNCT research, the connection with medical doctors and hospitals was limited, so clinical trials and research were few. In 2008, she became the director of the Nuclear Science and Technology Development Center of National Tsing Hua University. With her expertise in radiation biology, she has always had close cooperation with doctors on her research projects, especially doctors serving at Taipei Veterans General Hospital. As a result, she always discussed BNCT with doctors at that time. In 2010, a trilateral MoU of BNCT was signed among National Tsing-Hua University, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, and Kyoto University.
