Biography
Dr. Lir-Wan Fan received her PhD (2002) in Pharmacology and Toxicology from the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC). She was trained as a postdoctoral research fellow at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, Jacksonville, FL (2002-2003) and the Department of Pediatrics (Neonatology Division), UMMC, Jackson, MS (2003-2004). She is currently a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics (Neonatology Division) at UMMC. Her research investigates the mechanisms involved in the long-term adverse effects of perinatal brain inflammation on hypoxia-ischemia, intrauterine growth restriction, ADHD, and late-onset neurodegenerative diseases, such as idiopathic Parkinson’s disease, and provides valuable information for developing strategies in prevention and therapeutic treatments of neurodegenerative diseases. Her work has been well-supported by a variety of funding agencies, including the NIH and Michael J. Fox Foundation, and her work has been published in leading journals in neuroscience and pediatric fields. She was selected as the Grant Reviewer for several study sections in the National Institutes such as NIH and USDA. In addition, she is a fellow of the Mississippi Academy of Sciences (MAS), and she serves as a director for the MAS Council, an editorial review board member for several scientific journals, and a reviewer of many international journal articles.
