Dr. Feng-Qi Zhao is currently working as a Professor in the Department of Deaprtment of animal nutrition and food science, , United States of America. His research interests includes My research mainly focuses on the regulation of milk synthesis. Current specific projects include regulation of mammary glucose uptake in supp! orting milk production and hormonal regulation of milk gene expression. In addition, I am also interested in the role of a group of Oct transcription factors in mammary development and tumorigenesis.
