Jian Jing is a professor at the School of Life Sciences of Nanjing University in China. He is a leading expert in systems neuroscience, with extensive experience in circuitry studies in invertebrate model systems at the University of Illinois and Mount Sinai School of Medicine at New York. He graduated from Peking University with B.Sc. in 1987, and had studied hypoxia/ischemia in rat hippocampal slices at Beijing Neurosurgical Institute and Duke University. He obtained his Ph.D. from University of Illinois in 1998. He has published extensively in journals such as Curr Biol, J Neurosci, Anal Chem, ACS Chem Biol, ACS Chem Neurosci, JBC, J Neurophysiol, PLOS ONE, and has edited a book titled “Network Functions and Plasticity: Perspectives from Studying Neuronal Electrical Coupling in Microcircuits” published by Academic Press/Elsevier in 2017. He currently directs a research program that examines neural circuits underlying motivated behaviors and neuromodulation at Nanjing University.
