许田博士简介(Tian Xu, Ph.D.)

>> > 1962年出生于浙江省嘉兴市。1978-1982年就读于复旦大学谈家祯教授主持的遗传学专业。毕业后留校任教于生物系和遗传学研究所

。1983年带50美元来到纽约哈蓝姆穷人区艰苦奋斗。1984年获耶鲁大学奖学金读博士。从师于著名发育遗传学家S. Artavanis-Tsakonas教授

研究神经发育分子遗 传学机理。1990年获得博士,以其成绩在全美博士毕业生中获20人之一的美国海伦黑—慧特尼(Helen Hay Whitney) 博

士后奖。于1990-1993年在加州 大学伯克莱分校分子细胞生物系随著名遗传学家GeraldRubin(美国科学院院士)做博士后研究。1993年受聘

于耶鲁大学医学院任遗传学、发育生物学、分子肿瘤学助理教授,并兼职于癌症研治中心和Boyer分子医学中心。1998年任副教授,2001年成

为耶鲁大学终生教授。

>> > 研究主攻方向是用新的遗传学方法鉴别导致疾病基因(如癌症、神经系统功能减退、缺氧症)。建立动物疾病模型、通过研究果蝇、小鼠

、人细胞中致病基因功能来寻找发育和疾病的遗传分子调控机理。曾为Nocth信号转导途径研究作出重大贡献。他发明了在全世界数千家果蝇

实验室中广泛使用的镶嵌体分析技术,发表文章是在遗传学和发育生物学领域被引用最多的文献之一。他首先发明用镶嵌体技术筛选肿瘤抑

制基因等疾病基因,并首创了肿瘤发生和缺氧反应等的果蝇模型。他找到了lats等肿瘤抑制基因家族,发现这些基因的发育生物学功能是调

控器官及组织大小,并首先提出了肿瘤发生和器官大小调控有关的理论。近期用果蝇模型发现了结节性硬化综合征疾病基因TSC的功能并确定

其参与调控胰岛素信号转导。为治疗结节性硬化和糖尿病提供了新的依据。他在动物疾病模型和器官大小调控理论研究中处于世界领先地位

。1994年以来在哈佛、剑桥等众多大学、企业及国际会议应邀讲学80多次。研究成果在Science、Cell、Nature Genetics、Development等杂

志发表。撰写学术专著2本。镶嵌遗传筛选法的发明人,拥有6项国际专利。1995年获PEW学者奖。1997年在全美竞争中成为著名休斯医学研

究院成员。并获得美国肿瘤学会研究基金、Donaghue医学研究基金、路夕列P·马基托拉斯科研基金、和美国国家卫生总署颁发的研究基金。
