Biography:
- Professor Guoqiang CHEN, president of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, the Vice President of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Director of Key Laboratory of Cell Differentiation and Apoptosis of Ministry of Education, got his PhD in Hematology from Shanghai Second Medical University in 1996.
- He has been devoting his efforts to investigate oncogenesis, leukemic cell differentiation and apoptosis and target therapy.
- For instances, he made important contribution to put arsenic trioxide into worldwide-used effective drug for the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a unique subtype of acute myeloid leukemia.
- He also found the role of hypoxia/hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1a)/C/EBPa and Runx1 signaling axis as well as phospholipid scramblase 1 in leukemic cell differentiation, and reported that Cbx4 governs HIF-1α to potentiate angiogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma by its SUMO E3 ligase activity.
- He also identifies some natural anti-tumor/leukemia compounds such as adenanthin and their targets. With these discoveries,
- Dr. Chen has published over 130 peer-reviewing articles on the international journals such as Cancer Cell, Blood, Leukemia, Nature Chemical Biol, J Natl Cancer Inst, Nature Cell Biol, Nature Communication.
- Due to his great academic contributions, Professor Chen was awarded National Nature Science Reward, National Medicine and Technology Reward, Shanghai Nature Sci Award, Shanghai Science and Technology Progress Awards and others.
