Dr Lian Tian
Senior Lecturer
Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences
Personal statement
Lian obtained his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2010. He then took his first postdoctoral training in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in USA and his second postdoctoral training in biology at Queen's University in Canada. He Joined SIPBS in 2020. His research interest is cardiovascular physiology, biomechanics and biology, particularly in pulmonary hypertension. His group has recently focused on right ventricular fibrosis and function in pulmonary hypertension.
