Han Jiahuai is a Chinese cell biologist and professor of the School of Life Sciences, Xiamen University. He was elected as a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2013. He is also a foreign member of the American Association of Immunologists and the American Society for Microbiology. Han is mainly known for his work in innate immune signaling, especially the discovery of p38 signaling pathway.^[1]

Han was born in January 1960 in Huainan, Anhui Province, China. He earned a master's degree at Peking University in 1985, and a doctor's degree at Université libre de Bruxelles in 1990. From 1990 to 1992 he did his postdoctoral research at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. From 1993 to 2007 he worked at The Scripps Research Institute.
