About Shi Jin

Currently, Shi Jin is a lecturer of medical physiology at The University of Florida in the Department of Physiology and Aging. In 1998, Shi received his Bachelor of Clinical Medicine (Medical Degree) from Shanghai Medical College, Fudan University, China. In 2007 at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC), Shi obtained his PhD degree in physiology under the mentorship of Dr. Leonard R. Johnson. Shi had working experiences related to medicine including clinical service, medical education, and biomedical research for about two decades. With his passion for medical research and education, for more than fifteen years, Shi has been trained as a gastrointestinal (GI) physiologist at different institutions, including The University of Tennessee, Johns Hopkins University, and The University of Florida, and he also loves to share his knowledge and learning experiences with his students. Shi’s teaching interests focus on basic medical sciences, including medical physiology and pathophysiology, human embryology and developmental biology, histology and histopathology.
