The Speakers
Ming-Li Chou
Ming-Li Chou is a researcher specializing in platelet-based therapies for neurological diseases. During her dual PhD at Taipei Medical University (Prof. Thierry Burnouf) and Lille University (Prof. David Devos), she co-developed novel platelet lysate and extracellular vesicle (EV) biotherapies, focusing on treating Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders via brain administration. Currently, as an MSCA postdoctoral fellow at the Lille Neuroscience and Cognition Center in France, she explores neuroimmunology and regenerative medicine, particularly the roles of T cells and neutrophils in neurodegeneration. She has several peer-reviewed publications and 3 patent families on platelet lysate therapies for neurodegenerative diseases demonstrating her capacity in translating research into clinical potential.
