沈三兵

沈三兵，方前镇炉田村人。爱尔兰国立高威大学医学院再生医学研究所教授。1983年，在原杭州大学生物系遗传专业获学士学位。1986年，在中国科学院发育生物学研究所获硕士学位。1993年，在荷兰皇家科学院发育生物学研究所(Hubrecht Laboratory)取得博士学位，并获得荷兰皇家科学院奖学金。曾被评为中国科学院杰出青年科学家，获国家自然科学基金杰出青年基金。
　　上世纪90年代初，沈三兵就完成了中国首例嵌合小鼠模型、嵌合兔模型、嵌合猪模型。他在爱尔兰建立了诱导多能性干细胞技术，创建了阿伯丁胚胎干细胞研究中心，在转基因和诱导多能干细胞在神经发育疾病研究中的应用方面取得不俗的业绩。
　　2002年10月，沈三兵被英国阿伯丁大学医学科学学院聘为讲师，开始筹建自己的研究团队。因为工作成就杰出，2005年1月被提前转正为终身讲师，2007年7月又被提升为终身高级讲师。
　　2011年9月，沈三兵被爱尔兰国立高威大学聘为干细胞生物学教授，从事干细胞和再生医学研究。其研究成果在国际顶级生物学杂志Cell、Nature、PNAS等发表，并担任American Journal of StemCells、Frontiers in Biology等杂志编委。

简介：A graduate of Zhejiang University (formerly Hangzhou) in China with a B.Sc in Genetics in1983, Shen studied the developmental potential of embryonic stem cells in mice, rabbits and pigs as part of his M.Sc research at the Institute for Developmental Biology, China Academy of Sciences in Beijing. He was offered an ‘AIO’ scholarship by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts & Sciences enabling him to pursue a Ph.D at the Hubrecht Laboratory in Utrecht. Shen then moved to the lab of Nick Hastie at the MRC Human Genetics Unit in Edinburgh where he developed technology to amplify yeast artificial chromosome. He was appointed a Lecturer at the University of Aberdeen in 2002. He was promoted to the position of Senior Lecturer in 2007 where he formed a research team studying stem cells and brain development at the School of Medical Sciences. Shen has been working on translational medicine combining stem cell technology with his rare transgenic expertise, and generating a number of genetic models for neurological diseases using loss and gain of function approaches. He has had considerable research success recently including the generation of a number of genetic models tracking a DISC1 gene shown to cause schizophrenia in a Scottish family. Shen is currently validating novel biomarkers and generating novel animal models for neurodevelopmental disorders including schizophrenia and autism.
