报告人简介:

  Dr. Hai Yan is associate professor of Pathology with Tenure in Duke University Medical Center, and project leader of The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation Institute at Duke. Dr. Yan graduated from Beijing Medical University in 1991. He received PhD at Columbia University in 1996. He did postdoctoral training with Dr. Bert Vogelstein at Howard Hughes Medical Institute, in the Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Yan became Assistant Professor of Pathology in Duke University Medical Center in 2003 and was promoted to Associate Professor with Tenure in 2011. Through comprehensive elucidation of genetic alterations in brain tumors, Dr.Yan’s group has revealed novel genes for diagnostic, prognostic, or therapeutic purposes, as well as subclassification of patients that may preferentially respond to particular targeted therapies. Dr.Yan’s publication “IDH1 and IDH2 mutations in Gliomas" in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2009  has been cited as the most important cancer paper in the past two years by Nature Medicine.  Dr. Yan’s lab continues to shed light on important basic biological principles which underlie tumorigenesis, development and cancer metabolism. Dr. Yan’s research was recognized by numerous honors. He won Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation Scholar Award and Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation Research Grant Scholar Award in 2005, Duke Brain SPORE Career Development Award from 2005 to 2008, Brain Tumor Society's 2008 Eliza Lorberbaum Chair of Research in 2008 and American Cancer Society Research Scholar Award in 2010.
