Florida Atlantic University, USA
| Biography Dr.Jang‑Yen Wu Professor of Biomedical Science, He has completed his Ph.D from University of California Medical Center San Francisco, California in Department of Biochemistry. His research includes the basic study of neurotransmission with special emphasis on the regulation of GABA (neurotransmitter gamma-amino butyric acid) and glutamate neurotransmission at molecular and cellular levels and translational research to develop mechanism-based therapeutics for brain diseases including stroke, Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders as documented in the following publications. The overall goal of the proposed study as Co-I is to test the hypothesis that Osteoinductive scaffolds and ultrasound co-stimulate robust in situ bone tissue regeneration. Recently he was demonstrated that granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is effective in restoring the function of dopamine neurons in Parkinson’s disease animal model. In addition, he has also shown that G-CSF is also effective in reducing the infarct size and improving the brain function in stroke animal model. AS PI or co-I of several NIH-funded, NSF-funded or State-funded grants, he has laid the ground work for the proposed research by developing cell cultures, stem cell and animal models as platforms for testing biological functions and the efficacy of therapeutic intervention. In this proposal we plan to elucidate the underpinning mechanism of osteoinductive scaffolds and ultrasound co-stimulation in situ bone tissue regeneration. I have expertise and extensive experience in neurotransmitter systems e.g., GABA, glutamate and dopamine systems under physiological as well as pathological conditions. In addition. He has also extensive experience in stem cell related technology in cell differentiation and cell/tissue regeneration and developed several mechanism-based novel therapeutics for brain diseases e.g., Parkinson’s disease, stroke, epilepsy and alcoholism. Hence, he believes that with his expertise and experience in the field he can help the PI to lead this proposed project to a fruitful conclusion. He was honored by One of the world’s most cited authors identified by Current Contents/ISI in 2002, First Presidential Award in Basic Research, Chinese Neuroscience Society in America, etc. and also he have 261 Papers published in NCBI journals.

University of Southern California, USA
| Biography Dr. Sheng-He Huang currently is Associate Professor at the Division of Infectious Diseases/department of Pediatrics, University of Southern California Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. He graduated from The First Medical University of PLA in China in 1973 and then from Peking Union Medical College (PUMC)/Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) in 1981. He received his postdoctoral training in molecular pharmacology and microbial pathogenesis at the department of Pediatrics University of Southern California in 1986-1991. His research focus is in theoretical and applied issues of microbial infections. In 2002 Dr. Huang has coined the concept of infectomics, which is the holistic and integrative study of the interplay between microbial pathogens and their hosts, and the application of system biology and omic approaches in the field of infectious diseases. Dr. Huang recently proposed a new theory that microbial infection is a two-way paradigm not the conventional one-way view (J. Biomed. Biotechnol. 2008:856314, 2011:926407; Anti-Infective Agents, Vol.11, No.2. 2013). The most fundamental issue in infectomics is the relationship between Sym and Pat (two-way paradigm) in microbial infection. Dissecting of the dynamic Sym-Pat duality is essential for understanding of microbial infection using system biology and omic approaches. More recently, Dr. Huang has proposed that two types of symbiosis (Sym), exosymbiosis (e.g, microbiota) and endosymbiosis (e.g., mitochondria) are essential for health and that the exo-endo Sym balance (EESB) highly contribute to maintain the host homeostasis. Dr. Huang also devoted himself to the research on single cell infectomics of various pathogenic insults-caused blood-brain barrier disorders by integration of single cell profiling technologies and infectomic approaches.
