Dr. Qing-Jun Meng is a Professor of Chronobiology and an Arthritis Research UK (ARUK) Senior Research Fellow in the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, University of Manchester. Prof. Meng obtained his PhD in China and had his post-doctoral training at University of Manchester to investigate the molecular mechanisms and pharmacological resetting of the biological clocks. In 2009, he received a prestigious MRC Career Development Award Fellowship and started his own research group, focusing on circadian clocks, ageing and age-associated diseases. In 2015, he was awarded a highly competitive ARUK Senior Fellowship to continue his work into the roles of peripheral circadian clocks in health and disease.
Professor Meng’s research interests span circadian biology, ageing, endocrinology, cell-matrix biology and musculoskeletal diseases.
