Dr. Quan is a research professor in the Department of Dermatology at the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor, MI, USA. He earned his M.D. from Norman Bethune University of Medical Science in Changchun, China (1983) and his Ph.D. from Akita University School of Medicine in Japan (1991). Subsequently, Dr. Quan completed postdoctoral training at Wayne State University (Detroit, MI, USA) and the University of Michigan (1992–1997). Dr. Quan's research primarily focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of skin aging and age-related diseases, with particular emphasis on matrix biology, cell-matrix interactions, and the tumor microenvironment associated with aging. His work involves using mouse models to investigate dermal aging, skin cancer, and scar formation. Dr. Quan's research mainly explores ECM regulation, focusing on TGF-ß/Smad signaling, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and Yap/Taz proteins. Dr. Quan and his team have published numerous peer-reviewed papers and books, and he also serves as an editor. Under his leadership, the lab has successfully secured multiple NIH RO1 grants with Dr. Quan as the principal investigator.
