Biography

Dr. Jun Sun joined University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in Sept. 2015. Before Joining UIC, she was a tenured Associate Professor at Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, IL, U.S.A. (Dec. 2011- August 2015). Before joining Rush University in 2011, she was an Assistant Professor of Medicine, Microbiology, and Immunology at the University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY, where she has been on the faculty since 2007. From 2002 to 2007, she served as a Research Associate (Assistant Professor) at the University of Chicago. Dr. Sun earned a B.S. and a M.S. in Genetics from Wuhan University, China and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Institute of Toxicology and Pharmacology, Beijing, China. She did postdoctoral work at the National Cancer Institute, NIH for cancer research (Dr. William Stetler-Stevenson) in 2000 and Emory University for intestinal inflammation research (Dr. James Madara) in 2001. Her research interests are host-bacterial interactions in inflammation and cancer. Her key achievements include (1) characterization of gut microbiome and vitamin D receptor in intestinal homeostasis and inflammation, and (2) identification and characterization of the Salmonella effector protein AvrA that activates the beta-catenin pathway and inhibits intestinal epithelial inflammation in host-bacterial interactions. Her senior-authored publications on VDR and bacteria was highlighted in Nature Reviews in 2011 and recently published in Gut, the leading GI journal, in 2014. In the 2014 James W. Freston meeting: Therapeutic Innovations in Microbiome Research and Technology, AGA, her group was awarded two travel awards (out of total 8 awards). She was also invited to write reviews, editorials, and comments on microbiome and human diseases published for peer-reviewed journals. She will organize and chair a Featured Topic Symposium entitled “Mechanisms underlying host-microbiome interactions in pathophysiology of human diseases”, for the Experimental Biology and an APS internal symposium on microbiome in 2016.
Dr. Sun is a fellow of American Gastroenterological Associate (AGA). She has published over 110 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals, including Cell Stem Cells, Nature Reviews, Gut, JBC, American Journal of Pathology, and American Journal of Physiology-GI. She is the senior author/corresponding author for over 40 research papers and 20 reviews. She is in the editorial board of more than 10 peer-reviewed international scientific journals. She services study sections for the NIH, American Cancer Society, and other research foundations. Her research is supported by the NIH NIDDK, NY State STEM IDEAL Award, the American Cancer Society Research Scholar Award and a few other research awards. She is also an inventor of four therapeutic patents for anti-inflammation and anti-cancer. Her lab has developed the first model using intestinal-stem derived organoids to study host-bacterial interactions (Physiological Reports, 2014). Her featured paper also reports a novel humanized mouse model to study the tumor progress in HIV infection (AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses, 2014). 

Dr. Sun has been actively participated in the leadership activities in local institute, professional societies, and community service. She has extensive experience working with clinicians, basic researchers, fellows, and graduate students. She has good understanding of woman scientists’ needs. She served the Nominating Committee for the Intestinal Disorders Section [AGA Institute Council] (2012-2014) and Award Committee of American Physiology Society (APS)(2012-2014). She was selected to participate in the very first AGA Women’s Leadership Conference in 2014. She has served AGA Women’s Committee (2012-2015) and is currently AGA Women’s Council (2014-), AGA China Task Force Committee, and APS International Committee (2015-).

Research Interest

Dr. Sun's research interests are host-bacterial interactions in inflammation and cancer. Using cultured models, transgenic mouse models, germ-free piglets, and human samples, her lab is currently working on the following directions:
1. Novel roles of gut microbiome in colon cancer, IBD, infectious diseases, ALS, and other human diseases.
2.  Bacterial regulation of vitamin D receptor in inflammation and cancer.
3.  Bacterial regulation of intestinal stem cells.
