Tai Shuan LaiDr. Taiwan

Dr. Tai-Shuan Lai is a board-certified nephrologist at National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH), with clinical and research expertise in chronic kidney disease (CKD), dialysis medicine, and clinical epidemiology. His work focuses on precision medicine approaches to kidney diseases, particularly risk factor identification, disease progression prediction, and the integration of large-scale clinical and multi-omics data. Dr. Lai has been actively involved in the development and analysis of nationwide kidney disease registries, including renal biopsy, CKD, and dialysis cohorts. Leveraging longitudinal real-world data, he has led studies on clinical–pathological correlations, risk stratification models, and outcome prediction tools to support evidence-based clinical decision-making. His translational research extends to genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics, with a particular interest in metabolic dysregulation, lipid abnormalities, and their mechanistic links to kidney disease progression. He employs advanced analytical frameworks, including Mendelian randomization and causal inference methods, to enhance biological interpretation and translational relevance.
