Biography
The author received an honorary Ph.D. in mathematics and majored in engineering at MIT. He attended different universities for over 17 years and studied seven academic disciplines. Furthermore, he self-studied and research three disciplines, internal medicine, food nutrition, and psychology. He has spent ~30,000 hours in endocrinology research, especially diabetes. First, he studied six metabolic diseases and food nutrition from 2010 to 2013, then conducted his own diabetes research from 2014 to 2018. His approach is “quantitative and precision medicine” based on mathematics, physics, optical and electronics physics, engineering modeling, wave theory, energy theory, signal processing, computer science, big data analytics, statistics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. His main focus is on preventive medicine using prediction tools. He believes that the better the prediction, the more control you have. Thus far, he has written, published, and presented more than 250 medical papers, including some psychology research papers.
Biography
I work in academia as an internationally recognized neuropharmacology and neuroimmunology researcher. I published more than 500 scientific reports in the field of neuropsychopharmacology and signal transduction. I am leading a laboratory interested in understanding the fundamental neurobiological mechanisms of neuropsychiatric disorders to contribute to the development of new pharmacological treatments. We use genetic, neuroendocrine, and neurochemical methods. We recognize the role of the immune system in modulating neuropsychiatric diseases and we are developing in vitro cellular models and in vivo animal models to study the neuro-immune interactions under normal and disease states has successfully combined research, teaching, administration, and clinical care and continue to work on advancing our understanding of serious mental illness and drug development. We used to translate research findings into medical practice for the purposes of diagnosing, preventing, and treating diseases. I have published scientific reports on peptides, their receptors, signal transduction, and the role of these neuropeptides in the immune systems. I hold patents for using modified peptides in the treatment of septic shock. I have skills and expertise in receptor pharmacology, immunohistochemistry, in vivo and in vitro cell culture, biochemistry, animal models, cell and molecular biology. Ihas lectured worldwide on these subjects and others. I have 19 years of research experience with the development and use of in vitro models to test compounds, such as receptor binding, receptor activation, signal transduction, receptor-receptor interactions, and induction of changes in the cell cycle, proliferation, and apoptosis. Furthermore, I validated appropriate assays and models of diseases, screen compounds, and study mechanisms of action.
