Education

I completed my undergraduate studies at National Chung-Hsing University in Taiwan, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Medicine in 1993. Following this, I pursued a Master of Science in Veterinary Virology at the same institution, graduating in 1995. Building on this foundation, I obtained my Ph.D. in Molecular Medicine from National Taiwan University in 2001. To further specialize my expertise, I undertook postdoctoral training in Neurosciences at the University of California, Irvine, where I completed the program in 2004.

Positions, Scientific Appointments, and Honors:

Since 2018, I have been serving as a Staff Scientist in the Department of Neurosciences at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, OH. Prior to this role, I worked as Project Staff in the same department from 2013 to 2018. During this period, I was also a member of the Editorial Board for the World Journal of Anesthesiology. I have been an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) since 2011. Additionally, I have served as a scientific mentor for The Office of Civic Education Initiatives Science Internship Program at the Cleveland Clinic since 2009. My earlier roles include being an Assistant Staff member in the Department of Neurosciences at the Cleveland Clinic from 2008 to 2013, and prior to that, I was an Associate Specialist and then an Assistant Specialist at the University of California, Irvine from 2007 to 2005. During my tenure at UC Irvine, I also mentored undergraduate student researchers from 2002 to 2008. My experience began with a teaching assistant position in the Summer Course of Biotechnology at National Taiwan University in 1997, focusing on protein expression, purification, and monoclonal antibody production techniques. I also completed various internships in veterinary and animal research from 1991 to 1993, including positions at Taipei City Zoo, National Chung-Hsing University, and the Pig Research Institute, which involved animal care, internal medicine, surgery, and histology. My early research career started as a Research Assistant in the Department of Veterinary Medicine at National Chung-Hsing University from 1989 to 1993, where I focused on small animal internal medicine and surgery.

    Faculty Career Development Award (2005) Received from the University of California, Irvine, acknowledging exceptional promise in a faculty career.

Contributions to Science:

Functional impairments following spinal cord injury (SCI) represent a significant clinical challenge, particularly due to the difficulty in effectively treating such injuries. Our research has focused on developing and refining nerve regeneration strategies to repair injured spinal cord tissues. By combining peripheral nerve grafts (PNG) with acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), we have demonstrated partial success in a T8 spinal cord-transected rat model. Our studies have shown this combined treatment approach to 1) restore muscle mass and the slow phenotype of the soleus muscle, 2) facilitate spinal axon regrowth, including serotonergic (5-HT) fibers, and 3) improve hindlimb locomotion. Furthermore, by adding chondroitinase to this treatment regimen, we have enhanced the regeneration of brainstem and propriospinal axons across extensive transection lesions, leading to significantly improved urinary function.

 

publications:

  • The Spatiotemporal Expression of SOCS3 in the Brainstem and Spinal Cord of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Mice” (Lin et al., 2024): This study explores how SOCS3, a suppressor of cytokine signaling, is expressed over time in the brainstem and spinal cord of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) mice. Understanding SOCS3 expression could provide insights into its role in neurodegenerative diseases.

 

  • “Upregulated 5-HT1A Receptors Regulate Lower Urinary Tract Function in Rats after Complete Spinal Cord Injury” (Lin et al., 2023): This paper investigates how increased 5-HT1A serotonin receptors affect urinary function following a complete spinal cord injury in rats, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for improving urinary control in SCI patients.

 

  • “Improvement of Lower Urinary Tract Function by a Selective Serotonin 5-HT1A Receptor Agonist, NLX-112, after Chronic Spinal Cord Injury” (Lin et al., 2020): The research discusses the effects of NLX-112, a selective agonist for the 5-HT1A receptor, on enhancing urinary tract function in chronic SCI models, highlighting a promising treatment strategy.

 

  • “Differential Adaptations of the Musculoskeletal System after Spinal Cord Contusion and Transection in Rats” (Lin et al., 2018): This study examines how different types of spinal cord injuries (contusion vs. transection) impact musculoskeletal adaptations, which is crucial for understanding recovery and rehabilitation processes.

 

  • “Neuron-specific HuR-deficient Mice Spontaneously Develop Motor Neuron Disease” (Sun et al., 2018): The paper investigates motor neuron disease development in mice lacking HuR (an RNA-binding protein), contributing to the understanding of genetic factors in motor neuron diseases.

 

  • “Combinatory Repair Strategy to Promote Axon Regeneration and Functional Recovery after Chronic Spinal Cord Injury” (Depaul et al., 2017): This research explores a combination of therapies to enhance axon regeneration and functional recovery in chronic SCI, potentially leading to more effective treatment approaches.

 

  • “Mitochondrial STAT3 is Negatively Regulated by SOCS3 and Upregulated after Spinal Cord Injury” (Park et al., 2016): This paper focuses on how SOCS3 regulates mitochondrial STAT3 levels following spinal cord injury, which could be relevant for developing interventions to improve mitochondrial function post-injury.

 

  • “Peripheral Nerve Transplantation Combined with Acidic Fibroblast Growth Factor and Chondroitinase Induces Regeneration and Improves Urinary Function in Complete Spinal Cord Transected Adult Mice” (DePaul et al., 2015): The study assesses the combined effect of peripheral nerve transplantation and specific growth factors on spinal cord regeneration and urinary function recovery in mice.

 

  • “Effects of Reducing Suppressors of Cytokine Signaling-3 (SOCS3) Expression on Dendritic Outgrowth and Demyelination after Spinal Cord Injury” (Park et al., 2015): This paper evaluates how decreasing SOCS3 expression affects dendritic outgrowth and demyelination, offering potential avenues for enhancing neuronal repair and recovery.
