Biographical Sketch
Gao Xiang got his Ph.D. degree of anatomy and developmental biology from Thomas Jefferson University. He was then trained as postdoctoral associate at Roche Institute of Molecular Biology and The Jackson Laboratory. In 2000, He was recruited back as Professor by Nanjing University. He founded both National Resource Center of Mutant Mice in China and Model Animal Research Center of Nanjing University. His laboratory has been working on broad topics of pathogenesis using mouse models generated genome manipulation. The current focus is the molecular mechanisms for controlling physiological homeostasis, especially the metabolic homeostasis. He is the current president of Asian Mouse Mutagenesis and Resource Association. He is a Steering Committee member for International Mouse Phenotype Consortium.
