Kwang-Poo Chang, Ph.D.,简介
 
Professor of Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Chicago Medical School. Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science


B.S. in 1965 from the National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan
M.A. in 1968 and Ph.D. in 1972 in Cell Biology from the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada.
Postdoctoral Fellow in Parasitology at Rockefeller University in New York from 1972 to 1974. 
Research Associate from 1974 to 1976 at Rockefeller University
Assistant Professor from 1976 to 1979 at Rockefeller University
Associate Professor from 1979 to 1983 at Rockefeller University.
Professor from 1983 to present at the Chicago Medical School/Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science
 
Dr. Chang's main research interest is to develop strategies of treatment and prevention for infectious and non-infectious diseases through understanding molecular mechanisms of microbial virulence. Biological models studied include parasitic protozoa in mammalian cells and endosymbiotic bacteria in insects and protozoa.

His work, supported by NIH, has been focused on Leishmania model for microbial virulence. Other ongoing projects include genetic dissection of the unique metabolic defects, for example, in heme biosynthesis of trypanosomatid protozoa.
