Lin He received a Bachelor of Surgery from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China in 1997 and a Doctor of Philosophy from Stanford Medical School in 2003, working with Gregory South. Barsh.
She was a postdoctoral fellow at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory from 2003 to 2007 with Greg Hannon before joining the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley in 2008. He"s research focuses on the role that non-coding microRNAs play in the development and maintenance of tumors. Specifically, she has found that miR-34, a specific microRNA family, plays an essential role in blocking tumor cells from replicating in lung cancers, among others
Her current research is focused on understanding the mechanism that miR-34 plays in tumor suppression.
Her lab is also studying the miR-17/92 family. Differential expression of this microRNA cluster has been observed in B-cell lymphomas, suggesting that miR-17/92 members are potential human oncogenes.
He"s work has appeared in Nature, Nature Genetics, and Science.
