Dr. Yanjun Jiang earned her MPhil (2022) and PhD (2025) from the Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). Her research focuses on brain-body interactions, particularly the role of probiotics in pain management through the gut-brain axis. During her postgraduate studies, she contributed to several high-impact research projects, with findings published in leading journals such as Cell Host & Microbe, Science Translational Medicine (STM), and Nature Communications. Her work integrates neurobiology, microbiome research, and pain modulation mechanisms. Dr. Yanjun Jiang will soon join CUHK as a postdoctoral fellow, where she aims to expand her studies on gut-brain communication and its application in anesthesiology and critical care.
