Biography
Jiamin Teng is a Professor in the Department of Pathology and Translational Pathobiology, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in Shreveport (LSUHSC), USA. She completed Master’s Degree from Tongji Medical University in Wuhan, China and her PhD in Nihon University School of Medicine in Tokyo, Japan. Her research focuses on glomerulosclerosis of kidney damage and the stem cell regeneration, which can be translated to diabetic nephropathy due to similarities in pathogentic mechanisms involved. Her laboratory has developed unique experimental models such as in vitro live cell micromanipulation model, in vitro 6 dimensional live cell observation models, ex vivo kidney perfusion model, and in vivo model for the kidney glomeruli damage and reparation. These models have well served for the purpose of kidney pathogenic and regeneration.
