Dr. Rocky S. Tuan - Pennsylvania-USA
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine
Dr. Tuan recieved his PhD in 1977 from the Rockefeller University in New York, under the mentorship of the late Zanvil A. Cohn, MD. His postdoctoral research fellowship was at Harvard Medical School in Boston, first with Melvin J. Glimcher, MD, in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Children's Hospital, and then from 1978 to 1980 with Jerome Gross, MD, in the Developmental Biology Laboratory at the Massachusetts General Hospital. In 1980, Dr. Tuan was appointed as Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology, University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 1986. In 1988, Dr. Tuan joined Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, to be the Director of Orthopaedic Research and Professor and Vice Chairman in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery with a joint appointment in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. From 1992-1995, Dr. Tuan was the Academic Director of the MD/PhD program at Jefferson, and in 1997, he established the USA’s first Cell and Tissue Engineering PhD program at Jefferson, with the mission of training the next generation of "cross-cultural" biomedical scientists committed to regenerative medicine and the development of functional tissue substitutes.
In the fall of 2001, Dr. Tuan joined the Intramural Research Program of the National Institute of Arthritis, and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), as Chief of the newly created Cartilage Biology and Orthopaedics Branch. In 2004, Dr. Tuan received the Marshall Urist Award for Excellence in Tissue Regeneration Research of the Orthopaedic Research Society. In the fall of 2009, Dr. Tuan was recruited by the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine to be the Founding Director of the Center for Cellular and Molecular Engineering, and as the Arthur J. Rooney, Sr. Chair Professor and Executive Vice Chairman of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, with a joint appointment as Professor in the Department of Bioengineering.
Dr. Tuan is currently Co-Director of the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine, a U.S. Department of Defense funded, national, multi-institutional consortium focused on developing regenerative therapies for battlefield injuries. Two recent appointments at Pitt include (1) Associate Director of the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, and (2) Founding Director of the Center for Military Medicine, both at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Tuan has published over 400 research papers, has lectured extensively, and is currently Editor of the developmental biology journal, BDRC: Embryo Today, and the Founding Editor-in-Chief of Stem Cell Research and Therapy.
