Dr. Feng is also the director and senior research scientist of Cardiothoracic Surgery Research Laboratory at Rhode Island Hospital. Dr. Feng is a graduate of Xinyang Medical School and Henan Medical University (Zhengzhou University) with special training in cardiovascular surgery. Dr. Feng then received his PhD in Physiology from School of Medicine, University of Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Dr. Feng serves as Principal Investigator on grants funded by Nationalal Institute of Health, American Heart Association, and Rhode Island Research Foundation other other local funding. Dr. Feng also serves as co-investigator on a number of grants funded by the National Institute of Health and other research-funding organizations. His research is focused on endothelial biology and cardiovascular diseases associated with metabolic syndrome, diabetes and related cellular and electrical signaling. The overall goal of his research is to advance understanding of coronary artery diseases, particularly macrovascular and microvascular diseases caused by metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and hypertension and to develop novel therapeutic strategies to effectively treat patients with metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hypertension and coronary artery diseases.
Dr. Feng has published more than 130 peer-review/editorial articles/book chapters and 140 abstracts as correspondent authors, first authors and co-authors. He has served as an editorial member, editorial commentator and peer reviewer for a number of scientific journals in cardiovascular research and medicine.

My research mainly focuses on metabolic regulation of calcium-activated potassium channels, endothelial function and microcirculation under a variety of pathological conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, heart failure, ischemia/reperfusion, cardioplegic arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass. Our goal is to develop new therapeutic strategies that ultimately should benefit patients with cardiovascular disease.
