Research Interests
Li-Jin Chew, PhD, received her Bachelor of Science degree with honors in Biochemistry from the National University of Singapore in 1989, and PhD in Molecular Endocrinology from the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, National University of Singapore, in 1995. She gained postdoctoral training experience first as a Visiting Fellow in the Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD, and then as research associate at the Lombardi Cancer Center at Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington DC. She joined the staff of Children’s Research Institute as a research assistant professor in 2002 to help in the establishment of the Center for Neuroscience Research and to pursue studies on inflammatory white matter disorders in the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy. Her work applies cellular and molecular approaches to the study of the effects of cytokines on myelin development, progenitor cell cycle control, and gene expression. Her interests also include the role of Sox transcription factors in oligodendrocyte progenitor cell development.
