劉乃潔博士入職臨床動物醫學研究所

 

 

國際知名的臨床研究獸醫師—劉乃潔博士,於2022年2月1日起,正式成為臨床動物醫學研究所的助理教授。

 

新任臨床動物醫學研究所助理教授,劉乃潔博士。

 

 

 

劉教授的專業領域為研究犬隻上呼吸道疾病,2009年獲得台大獸醫專業學院受醫學學士後,便至英國劍橋大學深造,完成獸醫學(小動物外科)碩士及博士學位。劉老師的臨床及研究專長三級轉診病例。 劉老師的臨床及研究專長主要為小動物呼吸道疾病、耳鼻喉/頭頸外科、重建手術、睡眠醫學和醫學統計。

 

在回台任教前,劉教授在劍橋大學的獸醫教學醫院主持BOAS研究室和呼吸道外科門診,主要處理三級轉診病例。劉教授的研究主要針對開發短吻犬阻塞性呼吸道症候群(BOAS)之非侵入式診斷方式。其研究對BOAS診療有重大突破,包括呼吸道功能的客觀評估、手術效果評估、新穎手術技術開發和風險因素的確立。過去十年,劉教授在英國亦致力於飼主和繁殖業者教育,並將她的研究成果應用於育種選擇,以改善短吻品種的健康和福祉。

 

劉老師目前在臺大動物醫院開設耳鼻喉暨頭頸外科門診,並建立小動物耳鼻喉暨睡眠醫學研究室。劉老師專精之短吻犬品種為極具潛力之人類阻塞性睡眠呼吸中止症自發性動物模型,有望將其獸醫臨床研究經驗拓展至人類阻塞性睡眠呼吸中止症之相關研究,促進 One Medicine 醫學與獸醫專業間的合作。

Dr Nai-Chieh Liu has recently become one of the faculty members at the Institute of Veterinary Clinical Science as an Assistant Professor since the 1st of February 2022.

 

 

 

 

Nai-Chieh is an internationally renowned research clinician who specialises in canine airway diseases. She obtained her veterinary degree from the NTU School of Veterinary Medicine in 2009, followed by completing her master’s and doctorate degrees in Veterinary Medicine (Small Animal Surgery) at the University of Cambridge. Her study has focused on developing non-invasive diagnostic tests for brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS). The study has led to significant impact on BOAS research, including objective assessment of airway function, evaluation of surgical effectiveness, development of new surgical techniques and identification of the conformational risk factors. Before relocating back to Taiwan, Nai-Chieh was running the Cambridge BOAS Research Group and Airway Clinic at the Queen’s Veterinary School Hospital, particularly dealt with the most difficult tertiary referral cases. Nai-Chieh enjoys all aspects of soft tissue surgery and clinical research, however her particular interests include small animal airway diseases, ENT/head and neck surgery, reconstructive surgery, sleep medicine and medical statistics. Over the past 10 years in the UK, Nai-Chieh has also dedicated herself to improving health and welfare of brachycephalic breeds by providing education resources for owners and breeders as well as applying her research findings on breeding selection.

 

Nai-Chieh is currently running the ENT/Head and Neck Surgery clinic at the NTU Veterinary Teaching Hospital and establishing the Small Animal ENT and Sleep Medicine Research Lab. Her research will focus on sleep disordered breathing in brachycephalic breeds and toy breed dogs, then further study its relationship with human obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).
