孔冬博士简介：

孔冬博士，2006年6月毕业于南京大学，博士期间作为交换生在哈佛医学院学习。2006-2011年期间分别在哈佛医学院 Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center和哈佛医学院神经生物学系从事博士后研究。目前任Tufts University School of Medicine神经科学系助理教授。孔博士长期从事小鼠遗传学和分子及细胞生物学的研究。目前主要是利用多学科手段建立新技术解析代谢对神经回路、突触可塑性的调节机制。孔博士在科研期间已结题项目3项，目前在研项目3项。近5年在Cell、Cell Metabolism、Neuron等国际高水平期刊上发表了系列论文。
