Biography

Jin Wei, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and a Principal Investigator of Nephrology at Boston Medical Center. Dr. Wei studied renal physiology at the University of Mississippi Medical Center and the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine as a graduate student, post-doctoral fellow, and junior faculty in succession. He was a recipient of the American Society of Nephrology Ben J. Lipps Post-Doctoral Fellowship and Carl W. Gottschalk Research Scholar Grant. Dr. Wei joined BU/BMC’s faculty and established his independent research laboratory in 2023. His laboratory uses a diverse array of sophisticated experimental techniques, various transgenic animal models, and novel pharmaceuticals to delve into renal mechanisms of blood pressure regulation. The overarching aim of his research endeavors is to discover potential innovative therapeutic targets and treatment strategies for hypertension.
