报告人简介：

Dr. Ting Xie obtained his Ph.D. in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry from Rutgers University. Currently, he is the chair professor of the Division of Life Science, Kerry Holdings Professor of Science, and Hong Kong STEM Professor at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). Before HKUST, he was a senior investigator at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research and a full professor at the University of Kansas Medical Center. His main research area is stem cell biology. He is one of the leaders and pioneers in studying the stem cell niche and its mechanisms controlling self-renewal. Dr. Xie was among the first to experimentally demonstrate the existence of the stem cell niche. He is also the first to propose and demonstrate the existence of a distinct nic0he known as the differentiation niche for controlling stem cell lineage differentiation. His laboratory has further elucidated how the two niches work together to control stem cell development, tissue regeneration, and aging. Dr. Xie has published over 80 articles in high-profile journals, including Science, Nature and Cell.  He received Hudson Award in 2003 and has been serving on the scientific advisory board of The Glaucoma Foundation and the Y-LOT Foundation and on the editorial board of Cell Research, Development and ten other international scientific journals.
