Biography

Dr. Jianing (Jenny) He earned her dental degree from West China University of Medical Sciences in 1996, and later received a certificate in Endodontics and a PhD in Oral Biology from the University of Connecticut Health Center in 2003.

Dr. He is actively engaged in endodontic education, research, and clinical practice. She is a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics and a Fellow of the American College of Dentists. She has authored over 50 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals and co-authored chapters in four textbooks, including Pathways of the Pulp. Dr. He has served on the Regenerative Endodontics Committee and the Research and Scientific Affairs Committee for the American Association of Endodontists (AAE), and currently serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Endodontics.

Dr. He is an Adjunct Professor at Texas A&M University College of Dentistry, where she serves as Course Director for Current Literature Review and mentors endodontic residents in their research. In addition to her academic roles, she maintains a full-time private practice limited to Endodontics in Flower Mound and McKinney, Texas.
