معرفی
Ying Jin, PhD, is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurobiology & Anatomy at Drexel University College of Medicine. Her career spans over two decades, with a focus on spinal cord injury (SCI) research and neural regeneration.
- PhD - University of Hong Kong, China (1998)
Research Interests
Dr. Jin's research centers on promoting axonal regeneration and functional recovery after SCI. She utilizes various injury models (contusion, hemisection, transection) and treatment strategies such as cell transplantation (neural stem cells, human glial progenitors), biomaterial scaffolds, and gene therapy. Her work explores axonal growth mechanisms, microenvironment modification, and the creation of directional pathways for neural repair.
Recent Article Trends
Her publications over the past decade emphasize SCI pathophysiology, biomaterial engineering for neural repair, and stem cell-based therapies. Key themes include neuroimmune interactions, scaffold design for axonal guidance, tau protein dynamics, and neurovascular coupling.
Collaborations
Dr. Jin collaborates with experts in neurosurgery, cellular engineering, and neuroimmunology, including Itzhak Fischer, Jeffery Twiss, and others.
Labs/Teams
She works in a multidisciplinary lab at Drexel University College of Medicine, focusing on translational approaches to SCI repair through innovative scaffolds and cell-based therapies.
