Brief Biography

Yu-Chih CHIANG is a full Professor and Head of Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry, and serves as Chair of the Oral Biomaterials Core Lab at National Taiwan University in Taipei, Taiwan. Additionally, he holds the esteemed position of Director at the National Taiwan University Molecular Imaging Center. Notably, he is a past-President of the Taiwan Academy of Operative Dentistry. His current research focuses on the development of multifunctional and designable biomaterials for regenerative medicine, specifically in the areas of dentin-pulp regeneration and vital pulp therapy. Additionally, his research encompasses studies on caries management, antimicrobial materials, de- and re-mineralization, adhesive dentistry science and Inlay/Onlay design. Furthermore, he serves as a speaker for international conferences and continuing education courses, covering topics such as dental adhesion, caries control, cosmetic dentistry, direct resin composite fillings, cosmetic veneers, bonded ceramic restoration, and regenerative medicine.
