Dr. Jin's research interest is in the area of protein structure-function relationships. His laboratory's focus on two actin filament-associated regulatory proteins, troponin and calponin, as model systems. Dr. Jin is a leading researcher in the field of muscle contractility and cell motility studies. Dr. Jin has published over 160 research papers and a number of review articles in international journals and serves as Editor-in-Chief for the journal Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics. He is currently a standing member of the NIH Cardiac Contractility, Hypertrophy and Failure Study Section and principal investigator on two NIH R01 grants, an NIH R21 grant and an NIH T32 training grant. Dr. Jin has lectured at numerous national and international venues. Dr. Jin’s main research interest is in gene regulation, structure-function relationship and pathophysiological adaptation of contractile and cytoskeleton proteins. Research in Dr. Jin’s laboratory is focused on actin thin filament regulatory proteins troponin and calponin. Dr. Jin is the sole editor of two troponin books: Troponin: Regulator of Muscle Contraction (Nova Science Publishers, Inc, 2013) and Troponin: Informative Diagnostic Marker (Nova Science Publishers, Inc, 2014).
