Congratulations to Qing Chang, who has been selected to receive a CIRM Training Grant Fellowship. His fellowship appointment will begin on October 1, 2026. We are proud of Qing’s accomplishment and look forward to supporting his continued research and professional development.
The Center for Craniofacial Molecular Biology proudly congratulates Dr. Qing Chang on earning a Doctorate in Craniofacial Biology. Dr. Chang’s dissertation, “Functional Investigation of Meningeal Lymphatics and Glymphatic in Neurocranial Disorders,” . We celebrate this significant achievement and wish Dr. Chang continued success in future research and academic endeavors.
Jian-Fu (Jeff) Chen, PhD, presented at the 2026 International Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research (IADR) meeting with his talk, “Lymphatic Vasculature Niche Supports Stem Cell for Craniofacial Tissue Regeneration.”His presentation highlighted emerging research on the role of lymphatic vascular niches in supporting stem cell function and advancing regenerative approaches for craniofacial tissues.
Jian-Fu (Jeff) Chen, PhD, presented at the Craniofacial Gordon Research Conference (GRC) with his talk, “Lymphatic Vasculature Niche Supports Stem Cell for Craniofacial Tissue Regeneration.” His presentation explored the critical role of lymphatic vascular niches in regulating stem cell behavior and supporting craniofacial tissue regeneration, highlighting innovative directions in regenerative biology and craniofacial research.
