General
FENG Jing, Ph.D., Professor. He received his Ph.D. from Wuhan University in 2009 and then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Washington University in St. Louis, USA, focusing on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of epithelial-neural-immune crosstalk in multi-organ, multi-tissue and multi-disease development. Since returning to China in 2021, he focuses on the cellular/molecular pharmacology and drug discovery on diseases related to the nervous system.
