Dr. Ching-Mao Chang is currently the Director of the Division of Integrative Medicine, Department of Traditional Medicine, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, and also serves as a faculty member in the School of Chinese Medicine at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University.

In addition to his long-term commitment to the integration of clinical practice, research, and teaching in Chinese medicine, Dr. Chang founded the Autoimmune Disease and Dry Eye Syndrome Objective Measurements Lab (AIDDES Lab), with the aim of building a platform that combines traditional Chinese medicine thinking, objective measurement technologies, and translational medical research.
His research focuses on Sjögren’s syndrome, dry eye disease, and related immune-mediated disorders, while also advancing dialogue between classical Chinese medicine, clinical trials, objective quantitative assessment, and translational medicine. His philosophy in both teaching and research emphasizes a patient-centered approach, strong grounding in clinical practice, and rigorous attention to evidence, with the goal of demonstrating the clearer and deeper value of Chinese medicine in contemporary healthcare.
