Dr. Chang is a fellow of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology and the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, and a member of the Clinical Immunology Society and the American Association of Immunologists. His interests are mainly focused on epigenetic regulation in allergy and autoimmune diseases. He has published more than 40 articles in this field. He is also Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine, Co-Editor of the Journal of Translational Autoimmunity and Associate Editor of Clinical Reviews in Allergy and Immunology.Dr. Qianjin Lu is currently Professor and Director of the Institute of Dermatology at the Central South University. He is also Director of the Hunan Key Laboratory of Medical Epigenomics, and current President of the Chinese Society of Dermatology. Professor Lu has accumulated rich clinical experience in dermatology, especially in the areas of lupus and psoriasis. He has conducted research in epigenetic and autoimmunity for more than twenty years and he is especially interested in epigenetic regulation in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus and psoriasis. Professor Lu has published 200 papers in high impact journals including Lancet, JAMA, Blood, J Clin Invest, Ann Rheum Dis and J Immunol, etc. In recent years, Professor Lu was honored with several awards such as Second Prize of the National Scientific and Technological Progress Award, First Prize of the Natural Scientific Research Award of Hunan Province, First Prize of the Scientific and Technological Progress Award of Hunan Province and Outstanding Medical Scientist of China.
