Dr. Jin-Cai Luo received his bachelor degree from Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine in1986,China, and was granted Ph.D. at the University of Tokyo, Japan, in 1999. He received his postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School, USA. In 2005, he became a faculty member at IMM, PKU, as a Co-PI of the Laboratory of Vascular Biology. He is now focusing on the signal transduction in cardiac vascular system, tumor-related angiogenesis and adipocyte differentiation.
