Jinfei Ni, Young Investigator at the Institute for Translational Brain Research, earned his Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Biological Sciences from the School of Life Sciences at Fudan University in 2005. He later obtained a Master of Science (M.S.) in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Connecticut (USA) in 2009 and a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University (USA) in 2017. Following his doctoral studies, he conducted postdoctoral research at Harvard Medical School. In March 2021, he joined the Institute for Translational Brain Research at Fudan University. Dr. Ni’s work centers on the neurobiology of the gut and the gut-brain neural axis, as well as the neurobiological mechanisms underlying gut-related and metabolic disorders. His research has been published in leading academic journals, including Nature, eLife, and the Journal of Neuroscience.
