Biography

Jiandie Lin is a Professor at the University of Michigan Medical School, focusing on metabolic disease, genomics, hormonal signaling, and fatty liver disease. His research investigates the mechanisms that regulate nutrient and energy metabolism in cells, tissues, and organisms, with an emphasis on elucidating the metabolic properties of tissues during specified development and in disease states. Lin dissects both genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of metabolic regulation and seeks to discover novel secreted factors for systemic metabolic crosstalk. He has contributed significantly to the field through numerous publications, exploring topics such as the interaction between TGF-β signaling and liver macrophage heterogeneity in metabolic liver disease pathogenesis, as well as the role of lipid droplet efferocytosis in macrophage proinflammatory signaling.
