Changhong Ren, MD,PhD
Associate Professor of Institute of Hypoxia Medicine Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University.
Dr Ren graduated from Traditional Chinese Medical University of Heilongjiang. She obtained her Doctor degree at Department of Neurology, Yamagata University, Japan. She joined Department of Neuropathology and Neuroscience, Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Science, University of Tokyo in 2004 for her postdoctoral training. In 2006, she jointed Department of Neurobiology, Beijing Radical Medicine Institute as postdoctor. She joined the Institute of Hypoxia Medicine Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University in August 2010. She has been performed her research at University of North Texas Health Science Center, United State from 2013 to 2015.
Dr Ren’s research focused on effect of hypoxic/ischemic conditioning on cerebral ischemia; stroke biomarker and effect of TCM on cerebral ischemia. She is the Member of Standing Committee China Association of Chinese Medicine Subcommission of Chinese herb Dispensing and Rational Application. Currently, she has 71 peer-reviewed publications. Her researches are supported by several grants, including three National Natural Science Foundation of China.
