Early life and education

Chen Pei-jer was raised by his grandparents in Shalu, Taichung, while his parents worked in northern Taiwan. He and his three siblings had a strict routine, awakening at 6:00 am daily to exercise and do chores alongside their grandfather, followed by Chinese calligraphy practice.[1] [2] Chen earned a medical degree from National Taiwan University in 1981, and he completed a doctorate at University of Pennsylvania Medical School in 1987.

Career

Upon completing his doctorate, Chen returned to National Taiwan University as a postdoctoral researcher, later joining the faculty in 1987.[3] [4] He was elected a member of Academia Sinica in 2006, and into The World Academy of Sciences in 2011.[5] [6]

Chen specializes in hepatitis research.[7] [8] He helped treat patients during the 2003 SARS outbreak,[9] [10] and was invited to a SARS-related seminar hosted by the World Health Organization,[11] but did not attend because he was unable to isolate sufficiently after treating SARS patients, per the regulations in force for that meeting.[9] [12] Chen was invited to the 2009 World Health Assembly as part of the Chinese Taipei delegation.[13] During the COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan, Chen served on the vaccine review committee until late May 2021.[14] Upon announcing his resignation from the body in June, Chen stated that the committee would struggle to remain neutral when reviewing Taiwanese-made vaccines.[15]
