Jiun-Min Hsu

Jiun-Min Hsu began their work experience as a Graduate Student Researcher at National Taiwan University in 2010, where they analyzed a gain-of-function alpha-tubulin mutation in C. They then served as a Private of Military Police in the Republic of China Marine Corps from 2012 to 2013. At National Taiwan University, they worked as a Research Assistant in Dr. Chun-Liang Pan's laboratory from 2013 to 2015, focusing on the mechanism of neuronal mitochondria quality control in aged-neurons. Following that, they joined Oregon Health & Science University as a Graduate Student Researcher in the lab of Marc Freeman from 2016 to 2020, where they independently conducted research and developed in vivo model-based assays to investigate axon degeneration after injury in fruit flies. In the same institution, they also worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the lab of Marc Freeman from 2020 to 2021, determining the mechanism of transcriptional regulation of axon degeneration in mammalian primary neurons after traumatic injury. Most recently, Jiun-Min Hsu joined Stanford University in 2021 as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the lab of Marc Tessier-Lavigne, where they focused on understanding the molecular mechanism of sensory-dependent axon plasticity in adult mice in vivo.

Jiun-Min Hsu has a strong educational background in the field of neuroscience. They started their academic journey at National Tsing Hua University, where they obtained a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering and Environmental Science from 2006 to 2010. Building upon this foundation, Hsu pursued a Master's degree in Molecular Medicine at National Taiwan University, completing it from 2010 to 2012. Seeking further specialization in neuroscience, they then enrolled at UMass Chan Medical School, where they worked towards a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Neuroscience from 2015 to 2016. Currently, Hsu is a PhD candidate at Oregon Health & Science University, pursuing their ultimate goal of obtaining a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Neuroscience, expected to be completed in 2020.
