感謝新潟醫療福祉大學中山憲司教授的安排，延續去年的成功訪問，中山醫學大學醫學檢驗暨生物技術學系的師生，在張昱維老師的帶領下近日再次前往位於日本川崎的島津東京創新中心(Shimadzu Tokyo Innovation Center in Kawasaki)，與島津的頂尖開發人員進行了一場富有成效的交流。

此次行程更特別邀請到中山醫學大學附設醫院藥物檢測中心主管張耀仁老師同行，共同就全球非法藥物分析的最新趨勢，以及利用**基質輔助雷射脫附游離飛行時間質譜儀（MALDI-TOF/MS）**進行快速微生物鑑定等關鍵議題，進行了深入的探討。

此次參與者們在實地觀察儀器操作的過程中，對先進的分析技術有了更深層次的理解。目前，中山醫學大學附設醫院已將這些尖端科技應用於實際運作中。藥物檢測中心配備的液相層析串聯質譜儀（LC-MS）系統，以及微生物實驗室用於快速微生物鑑定的 MALDI-TOF/MS 系統，都已積極投入於公共衛生與臨床實踐，為守護民眾健康貢獻一份心力。

此次交流不僅加強了中山醫學大學與島津之間的合作夥伴關係，也為師生們提供了寶貴的學習機會，有助於提升台灣在藥物分析與微生物鑑定領域的技術水準。


Thanks to the arrangements made by Dr. Kenji Nakayama of Niigata University of Health and Welfare, faculty and students from Chung Shan Medical University's (CSMU) Department of Medical Laboratory Science and Biotechnology, led by Dr. Yu-Wei Chang, recently made another successful visit to the Shimadzu Tokyo Innovation Center in Kawasaki, Japan. There, they engaged in very productive discussions with Shimadzu's leading developers.
This trip was particularly enhanced by the presence of Dr. Yao-Jen Chang, Director of the Drug Testing Center at Chung Shan Medical University Hospital (CSMUH). Together, they delved into crucial topics, including the latest trends in global illicit drug analysis and the use of Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization–Time-of-flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS) for rapid microbial identification.
During the visit, participants gained a deeper understanding of advanced analytical techniques by observing the instruments in operation. Currently, CSMUH has actively incorporated these cutting-edge technologies into its practical applications. The Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) system in the Drug Testing Center and the MALDI-TOF/MS system used for rapid microbial identification in the Microbiology Laboratory are both actively contributing to public health and clinical practice, playing a vital role in safeguarding public well-being.
This exchange not only strengthened the partnership between Chung Shan Medical University and Shimadzu but also provided invaluable learning opportunities for faculty and students, helping to elevate Taiwan's technical capabilities in the fields of drug analysis and microbial identification.
