معرفی
Tiandong Leng, M.D., Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurobiology at Morehouse School of Medicine. His research focuses on stroke mechanisms, ion channel function, central nervous system pharmacology, and drug development for neuroprotection.
Dr. Leng received his Doctor of Medicine from Weifang Medical University and his Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Sun Yat-Sen University. His academic journey has positioned him at the intersection of clinical medicine and basic neuroscience research.
Dr. Leng's research program primarily investigates the role of ion channels, particularly acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), in ischemic brain injury. His work explores how cholesterol metabolism and its derivatives contribute to neuroprotection during stroke events. His laboratory studies the molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal injury during acidosis and ischemia, with a focus on developing novel therapeutic approaches for stroke intervention.
Dr. Leng's research has consistently focused on understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of stroke and identifying potential therapeutic targets. His publications reveal a strong emphasis on cholesterol metabolism, acid-sensing ion channels, and neuroprotective compounds. His work spans from basic molecular mechanisms to potential clinical applications for stroke treatment.
Dr. Leng serves as a corresponding author on numerous publications, indicating his leadership role in his research projects. His work demonstrates a consistent trajectory of investigation into stroke pathophysiology and therapeutic development.
