Prof. Jung-Su Chang was awarded her Master's degree in Clinical Nutrition from the University of Glasgow in 2000 and her PhD degree from University College London (UCL), UK, in 2006. She obtained her postdoctoral training in Prof. David Haig's Lab at the Moredun Research Institute and the Roslin Research Institute in Scotland, as well as in Prof. Dirk Haller's Lab at the Technical University Munich, Germany. In 2011, she joined the School of Nutrition & Health Sciences at Taipei Medical University, Taiwan.

Prof. Chang has dedicated her research to obesity-related nutrition care. Obesity and anemia remain major global health concerns. It is estimated that half of obese patients with metabolic disorders have mild liver iron overload, but there are still no effective methods for treating obesity-related iron disorders. 

Prof. Chang is intrigued by questions: How does obesity-related inflammation affect iron metabolism, and how does altered iron metabolism contribute to metabolic diseases and brain health? Can digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) help us provide better nutrition care?

Currently, Prof. Jung-Su Chang's lab consists of one postdoctoral researcher and three PhD students (two from Vietnam and one from Indonesia), along with three master's students (two from Taiwan and one from Indonesia).
