معرفی
Dr. Jalees Rehman serves as Professor of Medicine and Pharmacology and Head of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at the University of Illinois Chicago College of Medicine. His leadership spans institutional administration and cutting-edge biomedical research focused on vascular injury mechanisms.
His research expertise encompasses:
- Organ-specific blood vessel vulnerability (particularly lung vasculature in severe infections)
- Modulation of inflammatory responses to prevent tissue damage
- Stem cell-mediated tissue regeneration pathways
- Machine learning applications for gene regulation analysis in injury/repair processes
Recent research trends demonstrate strong integration of computational approaches with vascular biology, particularly in understanding:
- COVID-19-related vascular complications
- Post-viral neurological disorders
- Cancer-associated vascular dysfunction
No scientific awards are documented in available sources. His laboratory actively trains graduate students through the Graduate Education in Biomedical Sciences (GEMS) program, particularly within the Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine concentration. Research is supported by NIH funding within the top-ranked Pharmacology and Regenerative Medicine department.
Dr. Rehman's laboratory focuses on vascular injury mechanisms in bacterial/viral infections, utilizing both experimental models and computational tools to identify therapeutic targets for tissue protection and regeneration.
