Dr. Jose received his MD degree, magna cum laude, meritissimus, from the University of Santo Tomas, Philippines, and placed first in the Philippine National Board Examinations in Medicine and Surgery. He received his PhD degree in Physiology from Georgetown University, Washington, DC and defended his dissertation with distinction. He is certified by the American Board of Pediatrics, American Sub-Board of Pediatric Nephrology, and American Society of Hypertension.

Dr. Jose has chaired and continues to chair Study Sections and Emphasis Panels of the US National Institutes of Health and voluntary organizations, such as the American Heart Association and National Kidney Foundation. He reviews grant applications in foreign countries, including Italy and the Czech Republic. Dr. Jose has extensive experience in basic and translational research. The primary goal of Dr. Jose’s research is to determine the genetic bases of human essential hypertension. He has published over 340 scientific articles in prestigious journals and books including Circulation Research, Hypertension, Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, Journal of Clinical Investigation, Nature Genetics, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. His publications are cited more than 7,800 times with 41 cited more than 50 times, 17 of which are cited more than 100 times; four are covers of scientific journals and six are the subject of editorial commentaries. Dr. Jose has received several academic awards, including the 2003 Lewis K. Dahl Memorial Lecture (Council for High Blood Pressure Research, American Heart Association), 2007 Ernest H. Starling Distinguished Lecture (American Physiological Society Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Section) and a 2007 MERIT award from the National Institutes of Health. He is a fellow of the Council for High Blood Pressure Research, American Heart Association. A key finding of Dr. Jose’s research is the demonstration of the crucial role of variants of a gene “G protein-coupled receptor kinase type 4 or GRK4” in the pathogenesis of high blood pressure in humans. Dr. Jose also showed that variations of GRK4 are very important in predisposing an individual to develop salt-sensitive high blood pressure. These studies have resulted in a patent in the US (# 6,660,474) and Japan (#4652566), patent-pending in Europe and Australia) and a provisional patent on “Compositions and Methods for Identifying and Diagnosing Salt Sensitivity of Blood Pressure” (US Provisional Patent Application #61,636,576).Variants of GRK4 may also predict the response to anti-hypertensive drugs, an example of pharmacogenomics. Four of his National Institutes of Health research grant applications received perfect scores of 10 (Project 3 of 5P01HL074940 [2009], Project 4 of 5P01HL068686 [2012], HL092196 [2013], and R01DK039308 [2011]). Dr. Jose’s research is currently funded by three R01 grants in which he is the principal investigator, two P01 grants in which he is the director of program projects, and one grant from pharma. Deciphering the role of GRK4 gene variants, in the pathogenesis of human essential hypertension, was the second advance and discovery cited by the Director of NHLBI for its FY 2004 Budget Justification to the US Congress.

Professor Qingping Xie is a pioneering figure in the field of neurodegenerative disease surgery, renowned for his innovative surgical methodology, Deep Cervical Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis (LVA), developed at Hangzhou Qiushi Hospital. This avant-garde technique is designed to create a pathway for the efficient removal of toxic protein accumulations from the brain, addressing a fundamental mechanism behind Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. A breakthrough feature of Professor Xie's method is its surgical site—an extracranial area on the side of the neck—making the procedure significantly less invasive and enhancing its safety profile. Leveraging the anatomy of the lymphatic system, Professor Xie identified the V subdivision in the neck as the primary exit for brain lymphatic vessels, allowing for strategic augmentation of the lymphatic drainage system. Since its inception in late 2019, this procedure has shown remarkable efficacy, with over 400 cases performed on patients with Alzheimer's disease (approximately ) and other brain degenerative disorders, including Parkinson’s, ALS, and stroke, in China. Nearly all patients have reported immediate and lasting improvements in cognitive, motor, and memory functions following the procedure, representing a transformative advancement in treatment options for these conditions.

She is also a Canadian Advocate for Epilepsy and former Vice President for the Edmonton and Northern Alberta Epilepsy Association, where she was on the Board of Directors for over 11 years. She has published two books and had several articles written on her behalf (Surgical Neurology International/Your Health Magazine/Spruce Grove Examiner) as well as she has been interviewed on Global Edmonton and Breakfast Television Edmonton. Her topics of discussion are Women and Epilepsy-Sex and Seizures-Depression-Side effects of R-Her surgery-Books published. In Canada alone, an average of 42 people a day learn that they have Epilepsy and over 50 million people worldwide suffer from the disorder. I can say that I Beat Epilepsy. It was 6:30 AM on December 03, 2002. I remember being wheeled down the hall at the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada by the porter with the silence it felt like we were the only ones in the building. You could hear a pin drop. I had lived with epilepsy for almost 20 years of my life and that was about to change. Left selective Amygdalohippocampectomy is the surgery I was about to undergo and it is what cured me of my seizures. The left parahippocampal gyrus, left amygdale and left hippocampus were removed; structures within the left temporal lobe. I had 6 seizures 2 days before the surgery and I have not had one since. Since my surgery, I have accomplished some amazing tasks in my life. I have written two books, was asked to be a Canadian Advocate for Epilepsy in 2012 and have been a motivational speaker for over 8 years. Helping others is my passion, is my calling. I want to educate others internationally from a patient’s point of view, help them understand that they are not alone when it comes to living with epilepsy
