biography
Dr. Qing-Shan Xue received his Ph. D. in Histology and Embryology from West China University of Medical Sciences in Chengdu, China in 1993. After postdoctoral training in Sun Yat-Sen University of Medical Sciences in Guangzhou, China, he was promoted to Associate Professor in Histology and Embryology in 1995. He had been Postdoctoral Associateat the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology in the University of Tennessee (2000-2002) and Department of Pediatrics/Neurology (2002-2006) and the Department of Neuroscience (2006-2011), University of Florida. He holds an Assistant Scientist position at the Department of Neuroscience, University of Florida since 2011.
Area of Interest
Dr. Xue’s research interests are in the areas of neural development and nerve regeneration, especially focusing on the biology of Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) and other Extracellular Matrix and Cell Adhesion Molecules in axonal growth and regeneration, and on the roles of microglial cells in the normal brain and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease, Down syndrome, and Dementia with Lewy bodies. His expertise is Histology and Pathology.
