Our Team
Yanan Chen, MD., PhD.
I received my MD from China Medical University in 2005, my MS in Cell Biology at China Medical University in 2008 and my PhD from Dr. James Lechleiter’s lab at UT Health Center at San Antonio in 2015. After my postdoctoral training with Dr. Brian Popko at Northwestern University, I started my own lab at Loyola University Chicago in 2022. I am passionate about the downstream effectors of oligodendrocyte protection and their roles in neurological diseases, with the goal of advancing our understanding of the significance of oligodendrocytes in the pathogenesis of various neurological diseases, and exploring the potential of oligodendrocyte protection as a therapeutic approach.
