Zhaozhong Zhu, ScD/Respiratory Medicine
I am an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Translational Research Unit at Emergency Medicine Network, Department of Emergency Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital. I did my post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard T.H.Chan School of Public Health at Massachusetts General Hospital. Before my post-doctoral fellowship, I received doctoral of science degree in Environmental and Molecular Epidemiology at Harvard T.H.Chan School of Public Health and bachelor of science degree in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University.
Research Summary
My research interests mainly include identifying the biological risk factors for respiratory diseases, such as asthma, bronchiolitis, respiratory infection, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) using multi-omics data, such as genome-wide association study (GWAS), transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, epigenomics, and microbiome, and I hope to transform the research findings into community prevention and clinical intervention.
