Min earned his B.S. from Zhejiang University in 1990, M.S. from China Agricultural University in 1993, and Ph.D. in Meat Science and Muscle Biology from Iowa State University in 2001. He was a Canadian NSERC postdoctoral fellow in Biochemistry and Cell Signaling at University of Alberta from 2001 to 2003. After that, he joined Animal Science Department at University of Wyoming as an Assistant Professor and was later promoted to Associate Professor. In 2011, he moved to Washington State University as a Professor and Endowed Chair in Muscle Biology. His research focuses on molecular mechanisms controlling mesenchymal stem cell differentiation into myocytes and adipocytes, and fetal skeletal muscle development.
