Biography
Jinming Gao received his BS degree in Chemistry at Peking University (Beijing, China) in June 1991. He came to the US and carried out graduate studies at Harvard University under the supervision of Dr. G. M. Whitesides. In May 1996, he received a PhD degree in Medicinal Chemistry with thesis research focused on rational drug design and protein charge ladders. Following his doctoral studies, he completed his postdoctoral training in Biomedical Engineering under Dr. R. S. Langer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In August 1998, Dr. Gao joined the faculty of Biomedical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. He was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in Biomedical Engineering and Radiology in April 2004. In July 2005, Dr. Gao moved his lab to Dallas, Texas, where he currently holds a primary appointment as Professor (with tenure) of Oncology and Pharmacology in the Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center at UT Southwestern and a joint appointment in Chemistry and Bioengineering at UT Dallas.
Using a highly-interdisciplinary approach, Dr. Gao's lab is focusing on development of multi-functional nanomedicine platforms that incorporate tumor targeting, imaging ultrasensitivity, and controlled drug release for cancer-targeted therapy.
