Research Interest

Dr. Zhongjun Zhou research focuses on development and diseases. He works on the understanding of aging processes and signalling regulations that controls development and diseases using mouse models. He is interested in how stem cells affect aging and how aging affects stem cells. He has been working on the molecular mechanism underlying the stem cell decline and signalling pathways that control the stem cells depletion in aging. He is also interested in how pericellular proteinase affects development.
