Education

Dr. Di Wen’s journey into the world of neuroscience began with a strong academic foundation rooted in medical sciences, leading to her specialization in neurology. From the early stages of her education, she displayed a keen interest in understanding the complexities of the human nervous system, with a particular focus on neurodegenerative disorders. Her academic path was characterized by rigorous training, in-depth research engagements, and a determination to explore the molecular and cellular underpinnings of diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). During her early career, she cultivated expertise in advanced research methodologies, live-cell imaging techniques, and genetic intervention strategies, all of which laid the groundwork for her future breakthroughs in gene therapy and mitochondrial biology.

Experience

As a neurologist at the Department of Neurology, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Dr. Wen has combined clinical practice with high-level research. Her role bridges patient care and scientific discovery, ensuring that her laboratory findings are guided by real-world medical needs. Beyond her clinical duties, she actively engages in research projects funded by the Hebei Natural Science Foundation (Project Code: H2021206048), where she leads investigations into the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying ALS. Dr. Wen also collaborates extensively with multidisciplinary teams, including molecular biologists, geneticists, and pharmacologists, to accelerate the translation of benchside discoveries into bedside therapies. Her professional trajectory demonstrates a rare balance of medical excellence and scientific innovation.

Research Focus

Dr. Wen’s research is centered on neurodegenerative diseases, with a primary emphasis on ALS, a condition marked by progressive motor neuron degeneration leading to paralysis. Her landmark studies have shed light on the role of the OPTN gene in regulating autophagy and mitophagy—two crucial cellular processes involved in maintaining neuronal health. Using advanced genetic tools such as LV-sgRNA-OPTN and confocal live-cell imaging, she demonstrated how loss of OPTN impairs mitochondrial function, decreases autophagic flux, and increases oxidative stress in neuronal cells. Her work extends beyond cellular models, exploring gene therapy interventions in SOD1-G93A transgenic mice, where she has shown that enhancing autophagy pathways can protect mitochondria and potentially slow ALS progression. In parallel, Dr. Wen has contributed to research on insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) as a neuroprotective agent, identifying its role in mitochondrial preservation and apoptosis inhibition. Her prolific publication record in high-impact journals like The FEBS Journal and Brain Research Bulletin underscores the depth and significance of her contributions to the global ALS research community.

Awards and Recognition

Dr. Wen’s dedication to advancing neurological research has been recognized through multiple scientific publications indexed in SCI and other reputable databases. Her papers, some of which have achieved high citation counts, reflect both her innovative approach and her influence in the field of neurobiology.
