Shawn Hingtgen, PhD
Dr. Hingtgen began his scientific career while earning his BS from the University of Iowa. During his undergraduate studies, he performed four years of research exploring methods to reconstruct 3-dimensional images of phloem as well as identifying phloem-specific proteins. He then began his doctoral studies exploring the role of reactive oxygen species in the regulation of Angiotensin II-induced cardiac hypertrophy. In 2004 he received his PhD in Anatomy and Cell Biology from the University of Iowa, and began a training as a postdoctoral fellow in 2005 at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. While there, he shifted his research focus to developing novel stem cell-based therapeutics and molecular imaging. In 2010, he became an Instructor in the Department of Radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School before becoming an assistant professor in the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy in the spring of 2012.
