Rong Shao
Pioneer Valley Life Sciences Institute
University of Massachusetts, USA
After receiving a Ph.D. degree from Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Sciences in 1997, Dr. Rong Shao, a postdoctoral fellow, participated in liver disease and breast cancer research at Duke University Medical Center. During that professional training period, Dr. Shao received a fellowship award from a federal funding agency the Department of Defense (DoD) for a project focusing on breast cancer angiogenesis, and also published a number of prestigious articles as the first author. In 2004, Dr. Shao was recruited as a scientist and assistant professor at Pioneer Valley Sciences Institute, University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA, where he continuously pursues the mechanistic studies on tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Since then, Dr. Shao has published more than 20 papers in peer-reviewed journals, demonstrative of a cancer biologist. He has also served as an editorial board member of a number of peer-reviewed journals and a reviewer of more than ten journals. Dr. Shao’s research work has been supported by a number of federal funding agencies including NIH (NCI) and DoD.
