Tu Tsung-ming (Chinese: 杜聰明; pinyin: Du Congming, Japanese: Tō Sōmē) was a Taiwanese pharmacologist and educator and Taiwan's first Doctor of Medical Sciences (equivalent to Ph.D.).

However, he topped the exam, so the president of the school, Junzo Nagano(長野純蔵), decided to admit him as a special case.

The movement that requested to overthrow China's Qing dynasty was rising in 1910, and he joined the under society Tongmenghui with his friends.

After graduation, he entered Kyoto Imperial University under the support of Tugio Horiuchi (堀内次雄), the president of the Medical school in 1922.

The laboratory did pioneering research on methods to treat opium addiction, on the toxicology of snake venom, and on the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine.
