Member SpotlightsSelf-Maintenance of Gene and Occurrence of Genetic Diseases Dr. Xuefeng Pan A Science Advisory Board Member Since 2010 Dr. Xuefeng Pan is Principal Investigator of the Genomic Instability Group and Chair of Molecular Biology at the Beijing Institute of Technology. Educational Background: I received a Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry and Microbiology from Hebei University in China. After graduation I was awarded an assistant professorship in Public Health in Epidemic and Hygiene Station of Langfang City and Wenan School of Public Health. One year later, I completed my Master’s at the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of Science and Technology of China in Beijing. In 1997 I was awarded my Ph.D in Biochemistry from Institute of Microbiology at The Chinese Academy of Sciences. After receiving my doctoral degree, I decided to take a position as a MRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh in the UK. Professional Background: I am an Associate Professor of Molecular Biology and Medicine, as well as Principal Investigator of the Genomic Instability Group in the Department of Biotechnology of the School of Life Science & Technology in China. I am also Adjunct Professor of Molecular Medicine of HSC Hebei University. Academic and Professional Interests: My research interests include nucleic acid and protein manipulations but most importantly, I enjoy researching DNA damage and repair mechanisms related human diseases. I have authored numerous articles and books related to this field of biology. Awards and Professional Memberships: Excellent Course Award of Beijing Institute of Technology ( Elaborate Course Award) 2008 Marquis Who’s Who in Science and Engineering 10th Edition 2007 Distinguished Academic Staff of Beijing Institute of Technology 2006 Advisory Directorship of Beijing Biosense Bioengineering Co LtD National Professional Certificate for University Teacher Qualification of China National 1st Class Certificate for Higher Education Qualification (Issued by National Committee for Higher Education Cooperation) Awards for Excellent thesis for Master Degree (By Chinese Academy of Sciences) Council Member of Hebei Society for Botany (Langfang Chapter) Member of IUPAC Creating Member of Chinese Society of Biotechnology Member of Chinese Society for Microbiology Member of Chinese Genetics Society Other Interests: In my spare time I enjoy hiking and traveling. My family has moved to Australia so I shuttle between Beijing and Sydney. Seeing world and visiting new countries is so exciting. Motivations: I entered the field of biology because I have always wanted to understand why living things are able to sustain life and the mechanisms that keep them alive. I have also always been interested about the relationship between what living organisms can do to and for us and vice versa. It intrigues me why human beings and others are susceptible to illness sometimes and other times they are not. Impacting how medicine currently treats aliments and how we can improve these treatments in the future are all the types of questions that intrigued me from a young age. I must admit that I was greatly influenced by my father, who is also a doctor. I knew from a young age that I would be involved in biology.
