About Shi Jin

Currently, Shi Jin is a Lecturer of Medical Physiology in the Department of Physiology and Aging at the University of Florida. He earned a Bachelor of Clinical Medicine (Medical Degree) from Shanghai Medical University in China. After Shi obtained a PhD in Physiology from the University of Tennessee, where he was trained under the mentorship of gastrointestinal physiologist, Leonard R. Johnson, PhD, Shi continuously conducted the research in the field of gastrointestinal physiology and gastroenterology at the Johns Hopkins University and the University of Florida. Shi’s research on intestinal cell death, molecular mechanisms of trafficking of NHE3, inflammatory bowel disease, and potential therapeutic approach for diarrhea diseases has been published in numerous scientific journals. Based on his clinical and physiology research background, Shi focuses his teaching interests on foundational medical sciences—including medical physiology, pathophysiology, human histology and embryology, —reflecting a strong dedication to medical education.
