Chia George Hsu, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), with over fifteen years of research experience in neuromuscular injury, specializing in neurobiology, inflammation, and programmed cell death. His work focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of peripheral nerve and spinal cord injuries, as well as infections such as sepsis and acute lung injury, particularly the role of inflammation and immune cells like microglia, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM), and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in injury response. Dr. Hsu's recent research integrates immunotherapy and exercise training to promote recovery from injury and infection. His current focus is on immunometabolism and inflammation resolution, aiming to develop therapeutic strategies for post-spinal cord injury (SCI) and trauma care.
