  • About

    Dr. Chen is an expert in diabetes and cardiovascular disease. He cloned Exendin 4 (BYETTA), facilitating GLP1 drug development. He discovered the mechanisms of nitro-fatty acids, novel anti-inflammatory signaling molecules, currently in phase 2 clinical trials. Recently he embarked in successful integration of human genetic discoveries with translational research.
