Dr. Yonglong Chen received his B. Sc. and M. Sc. Degrees from Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou, China in 1986 and 1989, respectively, and Ph.D degree from Essen University, Germany in 1999. From 1999 to 2007, he had postdoc training in University of Goettingen, Germany. Since 1999, his research interests have been focused on the understanding of molecular mechanisms of liver and pancreas development.
The main focus of the Chen laboratory is to understand molecular mechanisms of pancreas development, which is critical for rational approaches to generate functional pancreatic beta cells. We use frog and mouse embryos to investigate the early process from endoderm patterning to the formation of the pancreatic buds.
