报告人简介：
Dr. Zhenying Nie is Research Assistant Professor of Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine in Oregon Health and Science University . Dr. Nie received M.D. of medicine in 1994 and Ph.D. of Histology and Embryology in 1999 in Beijing Medical University respectively. In 2003, Dr. Nie did postdoctoral training of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine in University of Pennsylvania . Dr. Nie had created a new experimental orchiditis mouse model and a transgenic mouse model. Dr. Nie now works at the reseach of airway physiology in obese rats and mice, which is supported by the Medical Research Foundation in Oregon . This lecture is mainly about the relationship between obesity and asthma. Since 2006, Dr. Nie has published 4 peer-reviewed papers.
