Jefferson Chan

Dedicated to exploring the nuances of cellular stress responses, Jefferson Chan serves as a professor of pathology at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine. With a keen focus on the molecular mechanisms that govern oxidative stress responses, his research delves into the pivotal role of Nrf1. Chan's work is instrumental in understanding how Nrf1 contributes to neuronal stress regulation and the pathology associated with CNC-bZIP knockouts. His investigations aim to unravel the complexities of how cells respond to oxidative stress, a critical factor in numerous diseases. By examining the intricate pathways and regulatory mechanisms, Chan's research provides valuable insights into potential therapeutic targets for conditions linked to cellular stress. His dedication to advancing the field of pathology is evident in his commitment to uncovering the underlying processes that influence cellular resilience and adaptation.
