Yinghua Chen, Ph.D.

Dr. Chen graduated with emphasis in molecular biology. His postdoctoral research was on two-component signal transduction system using Bacillus subtilis as a model system. Then he studied structure and function of a transcription co-factor (breast cancer gene 1) during breast cancer progression.  Currently his research focuses on the craniofacial field specifically on dentin matrix proteins, e.g., DMP1 and DPP as signaling molecules during tooth development and their potential in dentin regeneration.
