Chao completed his PhD in Genetics at Fudan University in 2022, where his research primarily focused on the mechanisms by which noncoding RNAs contribute to the development of congenital heart diseases. This work paved the way for his interest in molecular biology and gene regulation within...

Contributions to Science

1. My laboratory discovered the G protein-coupled receptor for sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) in the 1990s. At that time, S1P was widely considered as an intracellular second messenger. We cloned EDG-1 as an angiogenesis-inducible G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) in 1990 and “de-orphaned” it as the...

Tim Dorweiler

Tim earned his BS from Heinrich-Heine University in Duesseldorf (Germany) in association with Michigan State University (USA). His thesis described a potential mechanism of how dextromethorphan derived anti-diabetics promote insulin secretion. Subsequently, he acquired his MS at the German Diabetes...

Ingo Fohmann

Ingo received his PhD from the Institute for Hygiene and Microbiology in Würzburg, Germany. During his PhD project he was interested in the function of sphingolipids in the brain endothelium during infection with the bacterial pathogen Neisseria meningitidis. He discovered that the infection leads...
