你在寻求出国的机会吗？希望增加研究经验吗？
掌杰老师毕业于阳明大学硕士班及加州理工博士班,
目前是 UIC的副教授, 利用线虫研究神经轴突再生.
他知道台湾学生申请美国学校不容易 (他是入学审查委员),
希望能鼓励多一些台湾学生投入神经科学的研究必且累积研究经验.
欢迎个性认真负责的学生与他联络.
不限生物领域
二类组希望转领域或对生物研究有兴趣的学生也非常欢迎
如果可以, 请于信中简短说明生涯规划并请随信附上履历.
欢迎你成为我们的一员！
Dr. Chieh Chang received Ph.D. in Biology from California Institute of
Technology, where he was the recipient of the Helen G. and Arthur McCallum
Fellowship and the Howard Hughes Medical Fellowship, Caltech and studied
under Dr. Paul Sternberg (Thomas Hunt Morgan Professor of Biology, Caltech).
His graduate study at Caltech set out to develop tools to silence gene
expression and to understand signaling mechanisms in animal development.
Dr. Chang was an American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellow and performed his
postdoctoral work at Stanford University under Dr. Marc Tessier-Lavigne
(President and Carson Family Professor, Rockefeller University) and at the
University of California, San Francisco & Rockefeller University under
Dr. Cornelia I. Bargmann (Torsten N. Wiesel Professor, Rockefeller University).
His Postdoctoral study is exceptional, making a big splash in the field well
populated by developmental neurobiologists interested in mechanisms of negative
regulation in axon growth and guidance.
From 2006 to 2014, he held faculty positions at McGill University, and at
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Research Foundation. Since Dr. Chang
established his own lab, he has generated exciting new leads to the timing
mechanisms underlying transition of sequential events in initial neuronal
connectivity and age-related decline in neuronal regeneration. This is a
particularly exciting direction since intense scrutiny has been focused on
dissecting molecular functions in neurons with sufficient spatial resolution
but not enough temporal information to fully understand involved mechanisms.
These findings have been recently reported in Science and Science Signaling,
where he is the senior corresponding author. He joined the University of
Illinois at Chicago as associate professor in August 2014.
Dr. Chang is the recipient of the Canada Foundation for Innovation, Leaders
Opportunity Award, the Whitehall Foundation Research Award, and the March of
Dimes Foundation Research Program Award. His lab is currently supported by a
NIH RO1 grant recently funded for five years, a NSF grant funded for four years,
and a Whitehall Foundation grant.
Dr. Chang will be at the Academia Sinica as a visiting scholar during summer
(between 6/13/2016 and 8/12/2016). Please feel free to contact him at
chieh.chang1@gmail.com to arrange an interview.
