Hong-Jian Wei, Ph.D. is a postdoctoral research scientist of Radiation Oncology at Columbia University Medical Center. Dr. Wei received his Ph.D. in Medical Sciences from Taipei Medical University, Taiwan and performed his postdoctoral training in Stem Cell Research at Taipei Medical University, Taiwan. His academic training and experience have provided me with multi-discipline backgrounds in research, including molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, stem cell biology, and oncology.
Dr. Wei’s professional interests focus on central nervous system (CNS) malignancy and its microenvironments and his current projects include focused ultrasound (FUS)-mediated blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening for drug delivery and immune modulation in brain tumors. His long-term research goals are dedicated to developing novel treatment approaches and preclinical rationales for the clinical management of CNS malignancies.
