Biography

Luo Bin is working as Associate Professor Faculty of Forensic medicine Zhongshan School of Medince Sun Yat-sen University, Associate Director of Center for medicolegal expertise of Sun Yat-sen University. He got bachelor's degree of Forensic science in Sun Yat-Sen University of medical science in 1984 and began his career on forensic science as a teacher of Faculty of Forensic medicine Sun Yat-Sen University of medical science. In 1991, Dr. Luo was appointed the lecturer to be engaged in teaching. He got Ph.D. degree of Forensic science in Sun Yat-Sen University of Medical Sciences in 2003. He had enrolled 17 postgraduates and 6 doctoral students. He was invited twice (in 1996 and 2001 respectively) as visiting scholar to HongKong University to study the molecular pathology of sudden cardiac death. Dr. Luo participated in the 7th International Symposium Advances in Legal Medicine in Osaka, Japan in 2008 and the first forensic academic exchange in Taiwan in 2009.

Research Interest

Main research interests are forensic identification and molecular autopsy of sudden unexplained death, SUD. No evidence of pathological abnormalities of the heart is found in some sudden heart death by conventional postmortem autopsy. This kind of sudden death is classified as being of unknown aetiology. We took a new staining method for the simultanouse demonstration of nodal cell, myordiac cell, collagenic and elastric fibers was applied on a same sheet of glass and found that compared with control group with non-cardiovascular disease, SUD group were found evident patholoical lesions in cardiac conducting system and further study found that there is abnormal expession pattern of fibronectin,acitn,conexin43 incardiac conducting system from SUD group. Our ongoing program is to further investigate genetic variation or mutation in the pathological cause of SUD. Total 128 papers have been published related to the above research work. Dr. Luo had participated in 7500 forensic cases which were involved in disability evaluation, traffic accidents and industrial accident injury, high fall, death, injury, death, poisoning, suffocation, ripper and medical dispute during 30 years.
