Rate My Professor Bin Ma

Dr. Bin Ma is a Senior Lecturer in Human Anatomy in the School of Medical, Molecular and Forensic Sciences at Murdoch University. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Immunology from the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany, completed between 2003 and 2007. Prior to his doctoral training, Dr. Ma worked as a medical doctor for three years in Shanghai, establishing a solid foundation in clinical medicine and basic medical sciences. His career at Murdoch University encompasses teaching pre-clinical anatomy and microscopy, alongside extensive research contributions in biomedical science.

Dr. Ma's research specializations encompass neuroscience, immunology, neuroimmunology, and pathology, with a focus on neural-immune interactions using models like zebrafish and murine systems, advanced microscopy, and investigations into pathology mechanisms such as ovarian aging. He has authored or co-authored 64 peer-reviewed publications, cited over 1,258 times. Key publications include 'Bidirectional crosstalk between the peripheral nervous system and the immune system in zebrafish' (Frontiers in Immunology, 2023); 'Distribution of non-myelinating Schwann cells and their interactions with immune cells in the murine mesenteric lymph node' (Journal of Neuroimmunology, 2018); 'Immunofluorescence characterization of innervation and immune cells within the mesenteric lymph node' (European Journal of Histochemistry, 2019); 'TLR4 stimulation by LPS enhances angiogenesis in a co-culture model with murine brain capillary endothelial cells and pericytes' (Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, 2017); 'Celastrol modulates IRS1 expression to alleviate ovarian aging by improving mitochondrial function' (Cell Biology and Toxicology, 2025); 'Comprehensive Characterization of Long Non-Coding RNAs in Ovarian Aging and Celastrol Treatment' (2025); and 'A sensitive and short-duration fluorescence in situ hybridization method to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA in HEK293T cells' (Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022). Dr. Ma supervises doctoral research on natural products in ovarian function and collaborates on virology and pathology studies, advancing knowledge in neuroimmunology and related fields.
