Gao Wentao

Gao Wentao is a chief physician, associate professor and master supervisor. He currently works as the Deputy Director of Pancreas Research Institute of Nanjing Medical University, the member and Secretary of Pancreas Group of Jiangsu Branch of Chinese Medical Association, the member of Minimally Invasive Treatment for Pancreatic Cancer(MITPC) of Chinese Anti-Cancer Association, Fellow of International College of Surgeons. He is also a key medical talent for Jiangsu Province, a key talent of "Thirteenth Five-year Plan" of Jiangsu Province, and "Jiangsu Outstanding Health Talent".

Won the 2011 Ministry of Education Award for Scientific and Technological Progress as a main contributor (“The Foundation and Clinical Study of Pancreatic Cancer”, ranked the fourth); “The Occurrence Mechanism and Development Mechanism and Clinical Technological Innovation Study of Pancreatic Cancer” won the Second Prize of 2015 China Award for Medical Scientific and Technological Progress (ranked the fourth); “The Innovation and Application of Key Medical Technologies of Pancreatic Cancer” won the First Prize of 2015 Jiangsu Provincial Prize for Science and Technology (ranked the fourth); “The Study of the Foundation and the Application of New Clinical Technology of Pancreatic Cancer” won the First Prize of 2015 Jiangsu Provincial Award for Medical Science and Technology (ranked the fourth).

Research Area

1)Epigenetics refers to a subject that studies the heritable changes of genetic expression under the circumstance that the nucleotide sequence of gene remains unchanged. It is one of the most active and frontier field of tumor studies. With screening method such as methylation microarrays, the research team was the first in the world that discovered VASH2 gene and micro RNA-615 have epigenetic alterations in pancreatic cancer and liver cancer where they act as important roles that promote and suppress the growth of tumors. The research results were reported in Oncogene, an authoritative journal, in 2013 and 2014. In current study, genes are used to knock out mice and cells, and Chromatin-IP and CO-IP are adopted to elaborate the direct mechanism of action. The study won three financial support programs of Natural Science Foundation of China, and published 8 SCI dissertations. 

2)Minimally invasive pancreatic operation: Pancreatic operation still remains one of the unconquered fields of minimally invasive operations. I have learned about minimally invasive pancreatic operation in Mayo Clinic in the US, and started promoting minimally invasive operations and laparoscopic surgery in the surgical segment of pancreas in China.
