Dongsheng Jiang is a post-doctoral fellow in Dr. Yuval Rinkevich’s lab, at Helmholtz Center Munich, Germany. He has published 39 papers, including ones published in Nature, Nature Cell Biology, Nature Communications, Biomaterials, Matrix Biology, EMBO Reports and Stem Cells as the first author or co-first author. He has assisted his supervisors in mentoring over 5 PhD students. He holds an international patent on a scar explant culture technique called “scar-in-a-dish” (WO/2019/154963; EP3749750; CN112074596; US20210096127).
Dongsheng Jiang is interested in fundamental questions of how skin develops during embryonic development and how scar develops during wound healing. His current research focuses on fibroblast heterogeneity, subcutaneous fascia, skin scarring. The overall aim of his research is to develop therapeutic options for chronic skin wounds with reduced scarring and enhanced regeneration.
Dongsheng Jiang’s dermatological research started in Prof. Karin Scharffetter-Kochanek’s lab, at Ulm University, during his first postdoc study, which was focused on mesenchymal stem cells, skin wound healing, and skin aging. He was invovled in MSc courses in the international graduate school. He led a Baustein research project on wound healing in elderly population during 2014-2016, and published the results in Wound Repair and Regeneration as the corresponding author.
