Dr. Jie Cheng graduated from the Shanghai Second Medical University in Shanghai China in 1982 and went on to earn a Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy at the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in Cleveland Ohio where he majored in Biomedical Engineering between 1983 and 1988. His dissertation project was on the mathematical modeling of atrioventricular conduction. After completion of his formal education, Dr. Cheng spent 3 years in basic science research as a recipient of an Individual Research Service Award from the National Institute of Health before he began clinical residency training in Internal Medicine (1991-1994 at the Mt. Sinai Medical Center in Cleveland), fellowship in Cardiology (1994-1996 at the University of Chicago) and fellowship in Cardiac Electrophysiology (1996-1998 at the University of California San Francisco). Currently, he serves as the Director of the Cardiac Electrophysiology Research Laboratory at the Texas Heart Institute.
His major research interests are innovative therapy for complex cardiac arrhythmias and basic understanding of the mechanisms underlying these arrhythmias. His contribution to the field of cardiac arrhythmias has been well recognized internationally. In recent years, his basic science research laboratory has focused its effort on the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which the neuronally released polypeptides act on the electrophysiological properties of the heart.

程杰，医学博士, 贝勒医学院临床教授
德州休士顿圣卢克主教医院德州心脏中心心脏电生理研究室主任
程杰博士于1982年毕业中国上海第二医科大学，随后于1983至1988年间，在位于俄亥俄州克利夫兰的凯斯西储大学攻读生物医学科学硕士学位和博士学位。他的博士课题是研究基于数学模型的房室传导。此后，在他开始临床住院医师培训之前，他在美国国家研究院的“国家个人研究服务奖”基金的支助下，开展了为期三年的基础研究。他分别在完成了内科住院医师（1991-1994年在克里夫兰西奈山医疗中心），心血管内科专科医师（1994-1996 在芝加哥大学），心脏电生理专科医师（1996-1998加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校）的培训。目前任职于贝勒医学院临床教授，德州心脏中心心脏电生理研究室主任。
他的临床主要研究方向是复杂性心律失常的革新治疗和基础机制研究。他在心律失常领域的贡献已得到本领域的国际认可。近年来，他的基础研究主要集中于神经多肽在心脏电生理特性中的分子细胞学作用。
