Guoan Chen, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor in the School of Medicine, Southern
University of Science and Technology. Dr. Chen
received his Ph.D. in oncology from Peking Union Medical College
in 1999. In 2000, he joined the
Tumor Biology Laboratory as a Research Fellow and completed his post-doctoral training in tumor molecular biology at the
University of Michigan. He was promoted to Assistant Professor in 2010, and Associate Research Scientist in 2017. Dr.
Chen’s research interests are focused on the fields of genomics, proteomics,
and bioinformatics in lung cancer. He utilizes state-of-the-art molecular
technologies and approaches, including gene expression microarray, SNP array,
miRNA array and RNA deep sequencing, etc., to identify molecular changes for
patient survival, the early diagnosis and the molecular mechanism in lung
cancer progression. He has published over 110 research articles, such as Nature Communications, Cancer Research, Clinical
Cancer Research, J Thoracic Oncology, PNAS, and Autophagy, and has been cited more than 10,000 times with h-index 54, i10-index 82.
