Dr. Kejin Hu received his PhD degree in molecular biology in 2003 from the University of Hong Kong. Before that, he conducted his master research program in fungal biochemistry at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He then conducted his first postdoctoral research in muscle development in C elegant at Cornell University. His second postdoctoral research is Tor signaling in budding yeast at the University of Pittsburgh. He received extensive training in human embryonic stem cell biology and pluripotency reprogramming at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Hu established his own research lab in 2011 at UAB. His research interest includes molecular regulation of pluripotency, cellular reprogramming, and BET proteins.
