  • Comment: I see no indication of significant improvement since it was rejected a year ago. Awards remain very minor, and while pubs are improving they are still far, far to low. I am divided between reject with no option to resubmit and decline. Ldm1954 (talk) 21:58, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: You seem to misunderstand what is needed to prove notability. Please read carefully WP:NACADEMIC. For instance:
    1)He needs major awards, not "Master's mentoring certificates".
    2) Sentences such as "During this time, a close friend's death due to neuroblastoma encouraged a career in biomedical research" are not really informative.
    3) Think more about what would go in a NIH proposal than a popular magazine. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:34, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Antentor O Hinton, Jr. (born 1988) is a Molecular Physiologist who serves as Assistant Professor of at the Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics at the Vanderbilt School of Medicine Basic Sciences at Vanderbilt University...[1]. His work utilizes Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIBSEM) and Serial Block-Face Scanning Electron Microscopy (SBFSEM) imaging studies on mitochondrial networks in human disease with a focus on the molecular mechanisms regulated by insulin that influence cristae and mitochondria dynamics in pathophysiological conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.[2]. Dr. Antentor Hinton has several publications devoted to mapping structure of mitochondria at different life stages [3]. He is on the editorial board of Circulation Research, Aging Cell, Aging Advances, Scientific Reports, American Journal of Physiology – Heart and Circulatory Physiology, Journal of Cellular Physiology. and the Advanced Biology (from Wiley journal) [4]. He is also the associate editor of the specialty section of Bioenergetics in Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences (from Frontiers Media). Notably, in 2023, he headed an article on Juneteenth which led to the first diversity, equity, and inclusion cover in the journal Cell [5]. This article was discussed within Forbes, CBS News, and other newspapers, contributing to ongoing discussions of the need for diversity in field of STEM [6].

Early life and education

[edit]

Antentor Othrell Hinton, Jr. is from Asheville, North Carolina, [7]. where he attended high school. He was encouraged by his grandfather, who experienced segregation and the unfolding of the Civil Rights Movement first-hand, to become a change-maker through the obtainment of education, which is especially important in the context of race [8].

He completed his undergraduate studies at the Winston Salem State University, where he specialized in Biology [9]. Following this, he completed a post-baccalaureate program at Baylor College of Medicine under Dr. Jonathon Respress, who remains a long-time mentor [8]. He further completed his doctoral research in Cell Biology at the Baylor College of Medicine under the guidance of Dr. Yong Xu.

Research and career

[edit]

Hinton met his future postdoctoral research advisor E. Dale Abel at a Future Leaders Advancing Research in Endocrinology (FLARE) at the Endocrine Society in 2015 [10]. He joined Dr. E. Dale Abel's laboratory in 2016 at the Carver College of Medicine at University of Iowa with an overall research project to elucidate the mechanisms by which insulin signaling regulates mitochondrial fusion protein activity in skeletal muscle, heart, and brain [11].

Alongside this, Dr. Hinton started a second postdoc as a Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow Appointment at the Mayo Clinic, where he conducted research in collaboration with Dr. Jeffrey Salisbury at Mayo Clinic’s Central Microscopy Core [12]. This research focused on Serial Block- Face Scanning Electron Microscopy (SBF- SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) Quantification [11]. Based on this research, he conducted a postdoctoral fellowship investigating the mechanisms by which OPA1-dependent activation of mitochondrial function following insulin stimulation. He was also selected as an Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Enrichment Scholar, a United Negro College Fund/Bristol Myers Squibb E.E. Just Postgraduate Fellow in Life Sciences, and a Ford Foundation recipient [11].

In 2021, Hinton moved to Vanderbilt University where he began as tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics [13]. His current research topic is working on the development of a molecular diagnostic tool that can accurately detect pathological conditions within mitochondria [14]. Additionally, Hinton aims to construct a comprehensive mitochondrial connectome, which can serve as a reliable reference for pathology departments in hospitals when analyzing 3D electron microscopy data obtained from biopsies [10]. He is currently supported by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Science Diversity Leadership Award to conduct conduct 3D reconstruction of mitochondria across different ethnicities [15].

Hinton has a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, notable in publishing the first DEI cover in several major journals [16]. He was the Academic and Career Development Instructor for the Carver College of Medicine Diversity and Inclusion Office for 3 years during his postdoctoral phase [10]. Hinton initially began to have a national voice in DEI through heading the 100 Black Scientists List, 100 More Inspiring Black Scientists List, the 1000 Inspiring Black Scientists, and co-authoring the 100 Latinx List with Cell Mentor and Cell Press [17][18]. Having received training from [Historically Black Colleges and Universities]], Dr. Hinton called national attention to HBCUs in an Cell article he penned [19]. In pushing the conversation regarding the importance of mentoring underrepresented minorities forward, Hinton has some of the first DEI cover articles in multiple Trends (journals) including Trends in Chemistry 2023 (3rd cover article for a major scientific journal), Cell reports medicine, 2022 (Shared cover for second anniversary of journal on DEI), Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 2022 (First mentoring cover article for a major scientific journal), Trends in Plant Sciences, 2022 (2nd career development cover article for a major scientific journal), and Trends in Parasitology, 2022 (3rd career development cover article for a major scientific journal) [13]. In 2023, he headed an article on Juneteenth which led to the first diversity, equity, and inclusion cover in the journal Cell [9]. He has advocated for reducing inequities within science across numerous media publications and podcasts [20].
