Prof. Ji received his PhD degree at Shanghai Institute of Physiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He had several postdoctoral trainings in Karolinska Institute, Johns Hopkins Medical School, and Massachusetts General Hospital. He is currently an Associate Professor at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School and the director of Sensory Plasticity Laboratory. His long-term research interest has been cell signaling mechanisms of chronic pain such as inflammatory pain and neuropathic pain. Prof. Ji has published more than 100 papers. His work has demonstrated important roles of MAP kinase signaling pathways in chronic pain regulation. His recent work has also revealed the role of glial cells such as microglia and astrocytes in the pathogenesis of chronic pain.

We are looking forward to working with Prof. Ji in the future.

Cheers
