RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Unlike most scientists who concentrate mainly on research, Professor Liang has utilized his multiple talents to cover 4 major areas, i.e., research, technology licensing, legal affairs, and incubation center. He is currently serving as distinguished research fellow and Chief Executive Officer at the Biotechnology Incubation Center of Genomics Research Center, Academia Sinica.

While he worked in Biogen, a leading biotechnology company during 1982-1987, he participated in many projects and helped the successful development and marketing of two multi-billion dollars drugs, i.e., alpha and beta-inteferon for Biogen.  He was also the first to produce anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies, which turned out to be a multi-billion dollars drug too. Besides research and licensing of intellectual property, He came back to Taiwan in 1997, serving as the Director of Office of Public Affairs (Technology Licensing) Academia Sinica and helped Academia Sinica to sign more than NT$2 billion of licensing contracts. He is also responsible for supervising Biotechnology Incubation Center (BIC) of Academia Sinica.  The BIC has a facility of around 90,000 square feet which is occupied by 9 portfolio companies with capital of more than NT$14 billion and 20 products in clinical trials. In addition, he has served as a scientific and technology licensing consultant for many Taiwanese government branches including National Science Council, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Department of Health, National Defense Medical College and National Taiwan University etc., to help the build-up of biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry in Taiwan through focusing on profitable projects and establishment of a stream-line cooperation system among government institutes, universities and bio-pharmaceutical industry.
