- Clinical Pathology Residency at Northwestern University McGaw Medical Center (2015)
- Hematopathology Fellowship at Northwestern University McGaw Medical Center (2017)
Dr. Ji's laboratory investigates fundamental mechanisms of blood development and disease through three interconnected pillars:
- Terminal erythropoiesis regulation under stress conditions
- Inflammatory drivers of clonal hematopoiesis expansion
- Pleckstrin-2 signalosome functions in myeloproliferative neoplasms
His scientific impact is recognized through prestigious honors:
- Ramzi S. Cotran Young Investigator Award (2022)
- Election to American Society for Clinical Investigation (2021)
- Pamela Katten Memorial Leukemia Research Award (2019)
