Dr. Peng Yin is a principle investigator of Guangdong-Hongkong-Macau Institute of CNS Regeneration (GHMICR) at Jinan University from 2019. He obtained his Ph.D. from Fudan University in 2012. In 2012-2015, he performed as research assistant in Dr. Xiao-Jiang Li’s lab in Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and then moved to the Department of Human Genetics at Emory University as postdoctoral in 2015-2019. Dr. Peng Yin’s research is focused on elucidating the molecular mechanism of neurodegenerative disease including Huntington’s and ALS/FTLD Disease using non-human primate and mouse models, such as the function of neuronal aging-associated gene on misfolded protein degradation in non-human primate; comparation analysis of the molecular mechanism of ALS/FTLD Disease between non-human primate and rodent mice; evaluation of therapeutic effect of potential chemical on Huntington disease mice. He published papers on high impact journals including Acta Neuropathol, Hum Mol Genet, Cell Signal, PNAS and Nature Communications.
