In 1993, Chen established a liver transplant program at Chang Gung's Kaohsiung branch.[12][13] The next year, Chen oversaw Taiwan's first living donor liver transplantation.[14] In 1997, Chen performed Asia's first split-liver transplantation.[15] This was followed by Taiwan's first dual-graft living donor liver transplantation in 2002.[16] This body of work led to acknowledgement of Chen as "the father of liver transplants in Asia."[17] In 2003, Chen was appointed superintendent of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital.[2][3] In this position, Chen led the hospital as it faced the 2003 SARS outbreak.[18][19] As superintendent, he led several medical teams to Taiwan's diplomatic allies in Latin America to perform surgeries.[20][21] He was elected an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2007.[22]
