Jianghui Meng

Dr. Jianghui Meng is an Assistant Professor at the School of Biotechnology, Dublin City University (DCU), and a Principal Investigator in the National Institute of Cellular Biotechnology. His research focuses on defining itch and pain signaling pathways, elucidating neuroimmune modulation, and developing novel analgesics and antipruritics with support from Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), Sanofi, and the LEO Foundation.

His recent work explores SNARE proteins, cytokine signaling (e.g., IL-20, IL-27), and neuroimmune pathways in atopic dermatitis and chronic pain. Key publications highlight interventions in CCL8–CCR8, VAMP7, and GSK3 signaling for inflammation and itch mitigation. Funded projects include Unravelling SNARE proteins in pruritus (2016–2020) and Delineating Chronic Itch Mechanism (2024–2028). No awards or students are explicitly mentioned.
