Jinbo Fan

Jinbo Fan, Ph.D., serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, specializing in Clinical Cytogenetics and Molecular Genetics and Genomics.

His educational background includes:

• Graduate training in Neurobiology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai, China
• Postdoctoral Fellowship at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA
• Clinical Cytogenetics and Genomics Fellowship at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
• Clinical Molecular Genetics and Genomics Fellowship at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

Dr. Fan's research focuses on genetic predisposition to human diseases, genomic profiling of cancer, and translational applications of genetic discoveries. His work integrates cytogenetic and molecular genomic approaches to bridge laboratory findings with clinical diagnostics, emphasizing precision medicine applications in oncology and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Publication analysis reveals an evolving research trajectory from psychiatric genetics (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder) toward cancer genomics and autism spectrum disorders. His work consistently employs family-based association studies and meta-analyses, with increasing emphasis on haploinsufficiency mechanisms and gastrointestinal comorbidities in neurogenetic conditions.
