Biography
Dr. Yonglong Chen is currently working as a Professor in the Department of Biomedicine and Health, University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences , China.
Research Interest
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.
