Min Hu, MD, Ph.D.
Research Associate.
After finishing her postdoctoral training with projects of colon cancer research
at The Departments of Pathology and General Surgery at Stanford University
in 1997, Dr. Hu joined Drs. Vincent Hentz and Eric Sableman’s tissue engineering projects for soft tissue and peripheral nerve regeneration. As a Senior Scientist, she participated in Dr. Eugene Farber’s Psoriasis Research Institute to study the mechanism and pharmaceutical treatment strategy of skin diseases in 2001. Tissue engineering is her favorite research field. Dr Hu looks forward the to her work with Dr. Sylvester in the coming years.
Masashi Kurobe, M.D.
Postdoctoral Fellow
Dr. Kurobe is a visiting scholar from Japan, where he is a pediatric
surgeon in the Department of Surgery at Jikei University School of Medicine.
He joined Dr. Karl Sylvester’s laboratory in 2003 and is working

at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario Canada in 1997. He subsequently
gained his medical degree at Howard University in Washington, D.C. in 2002.
In between his first and second years of medical school, Dr. Perryman was a
summer student research fellow at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in the department
of neurology. Dr. Perryman's extensive background in basic science and laboratory
work will be a strong asset to Dr. Sylvester's research group.
