معرفی
Mingchen Jiang, MD, PhD holds the position of Research Assistant Professor in Neuroscience at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. He is affiliated with the Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (NUCATS). His research focuses on spinal motor-system biology, particularly synaptic interactions between pre-motor interneurons and motoneurons, synaptic plasticity mechanisms, and ALS pathophysiology. He developed a root recording system for mouse spinal cord studies, revealing novel forms of synaptic plasticity in motoneurons.
Education: MD from Jiangxi University of Chinese Medicine (1982), PhD from University of Iowa (1998). His work employs advanced techniques like electrophysiology, calcium imaging, and intracellular recordings to explore ALS therapeutic targets and spinal cord injury mechanisms. He has published 25 peer-reviewed articles, with recent studies addressing ALS biomarkers and spinal cord injury pathways. No external industry relationships were reported for 2024.
