Kenneth Chien studied biology at Harvard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA and received his MD and PhD at Temple University School of Medicine, USA, in 1980 and 1983, respectively. He was Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Cardiology Division, University of Texas in Dallas, and Associate Professor at the University of California, San Diego, USA, where he became Professor of Medicine in 2005. Chien also became Professor of Medicine & Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School and Professor of Stem Cell & Regenerative Biology at Harvard University in 2005. Chien is now Professor of Cell & Molecular Biology and Medicine at Karolinska Institutet and the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden. He has published more than 270 scientific articles on heart muscle regeneration and how stem cells and progenitor cells in the heart develop into muscle cells and coronary blood vessels. His current research focuses on synthetic RNA molecules to activate progenitor cells in the heart to form new muscle and blood vessel tissue after myocardial infarct. Chien was also involved in the establishment of the Institute of Molecular Medicine at Peking University, the premier site for cardiovascular science and medicine in China. Most of Kenneth Chien's work discussed in the interview is scheduled to be published this year inNature Biotechnology,Nature Cell Biology andCell Research.
