BIO STATEMENT
Dr. Ma leads clinical studies at National Taiwan University, Taiwan using population-based cohort registry and multi-national intramural databases. His main research interests include infectious diseases and adverse drug reactions. As a previous scholar at Penn, he keeps close collaborations with faculty at Penn. Through integrating sociodemographics, lifestyle survey, environmental exposure, medical records, and genetic data provided from affiliated biobanks in these cohorts studies, results of these studies provide understanding towards the complicated interactions between clinical phenotypes/ disease prognosis, lifestyle/ environmental exposure, and genotypes, and could be applied to improve health equity worldwide.
RECENT GLOBAL HEALTH PROJECTS
Etiology and genetic predisposition to adverse drug reactions. This project contains a series of multi-center cohort studies on adverse drug reactions, such as Steven-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis, following the use of medications including NSAIDs, steroids, anticonvulsants, and immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Prevention and side effects of bacterial and viral infections. This project contains a series of population-based cohort studies and meta-analyses on bacterial infections including nontuberculous mycobacterial infections, MRSA, and gastrointestinal dysbiosis, and viral infections including HIV, HPV, and SARS-CoV-2 infection.
