Journal of Microbiology and Modern Techniques

Dr. Mingkuan Sun, Ph.D, is a Professor of Neurotoxicology at the School of Public Health, Nanjing Medical University, where he leads innovative research exploring the molecular, cellular, and neural circuit mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders (such as autism spectrum disorder) and neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's disease). His work specifically focuses on how environmental factors (heavy metals, EDCs, persistent pollutants) interact with genetic factors to increase disease risk. Dr. Sun has authored numerous peer-reviewed scientific articles in prominent journals (e.g., Environmental Pollution, Environment International, Translational Neurodegeneration, Acta Neuropathologica) and has made significant contributions to understanding environmental neurotoxicity and neuropathology. In addition to his academic role, Dr. Sun actively contributes to the scientific community as a peer reviewer for multiple international journals and holds membership in several professional societies, including the Society for Neuroscience and the Chinese Neuroscience Society.
