Dr. Jia's research interests include brain monitoring and therapeutic hypothermia, brain recovery after cardiac arrest, peripheral nerve injury and regeneration, the translational therapeutic model for neurological injuries, and the development and characterization of biomaterials for peripheral nerve and bone regeneration.

1. Brain Recovery after Cardiac Arrest 

This project will develop and optimize a novel glycan-based intervention via metabolic glycoengineering to promote neural stem cell interaction in vitro and to improve neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest. It will track the fate of transplanted neural stem cells and explore related mechanisms with enhanced cell survival. We also focus on developing novel translational tools for uncovering mechanisms of brain injury after cardiac arrest, monitoring and tracking neurological injuries, and guiding treatments like therapeutic hypothermia.

2. Peripheral Nerve Injury and regeneration

This project will enhance adipose stem cell adhesion and differentiation in vitro via stem cell surface modification, and improve nerve regeneration after critical-sized nerve repair with sugar-analog-treated adipose stem cells. Our lab will also investigate the effect of stem cell-derived exosome therapy in peripheral nerve crush injury and nerve defect repair animal models.

3. Spinal cord injury

We aim to explore pathological mechanisms of spinal cord injury, monitor and track neurological injuries, and develop novel therapeutic methods to promote neuroregeneration and neuroprotection.
