- Professor Kuan-pin Su and the MBI-Lab have spared no effort in the study of the causes and treatment of depression. They not only have combined molecular biology and genetics to explore the causes of depressive disorders, but also found new effective and safe therapies for mental disease with natural nutrients.
- Professor Su, along with his international research partners, has worked hard for years to found the International Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research (ISNPR) in 2013. He served as the founding director of the ISNPR and has become an important scholar in promoting nutritional medicine into the mainstream of psychiatry.
- In 2015, he published papers in World Psychiatry (impact factor (IF)=27) and Lancet Psychiatry (IF=12), pointing out that the importance of nutrition in the etiology and treatment of depression has been overlooked within the medical community, and proposing treatment guidelines and expert consensus.
- In 2016, he set up the Taiwanese Society for Nutritional Psychiatry Research (TSNPR), expecting an integrated medical treatment to benefit clinical psychosomatic patients.
