博士， 美国休斯敦德州大学安德生癌症中心，癌生物学博士学位。在该研究中心多年从事癌生物学的基础研究工作。先后在 “Cancer Cell”, “Nature Cell Biology”,等杂志发表过多篇论文。

邓炯博士来本实验室后，将建立肺癌课题组，引进肺癌科研体系，从事肺癌的基础与应用性科研工作。GPRC5A是新发现的肺癌抑制基因。Gprc5a-敲除小鼠会产生自发性肺癌。基于这个肺癌模型体系，肺癌课题组将对肺癌产生的关键性问题，如信号传导途径，肺癌始祖细胞，肺癌与免疫系统关系，以及肺癌防治和早期诊断等方面，进行研究。力争做出重要肺癌科研成果，发表高质量论文，引进国家自然科学基金，培养优秀科研人才。
