主講人簡介：
Dr. Jiliang Zhou is a professor at the Medical College of Georgia of Augusta University, USA. He obtained his medical degree from Jiangxi Medical College, China, in 1996. After receiving his MS and PhD degrees from Zhejiang University in 1999 and 2002, respectively, he underwent postdoctoral training at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, USA. In 2008, Dr. Zhou started his independent research program at Albany Medical College, NY, as a tenure-track assistant professor. He moved to the Medical College of Georgia, GA, in 2012 as an associate professor and was promoted to full professor in 2018.
Dr. Zhou studies smooth muscle biology, with a research program dedicated to unraveling the mechanisms that regulate the phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells, a crucial cell type in the blood vessels responsible for carrying blood throughout the body. The current focus of the Zhou lab encompasses two major areas: Hippo-YAP-TEAD signaling and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Dr. Zhou has a consistent track record of research productivity and innovation in smooth muscle biology. Additionally, he is a dedicated mentor, highly motivated to train the next generation of cardiovascular scientists. To date, he has trained two postdoctoral fellows who have secured tenure-track assistant professor positions in the U.S.?
In this seminar,Dr. Zhou will share his recent groundbreaking work on the discovery of the smooth muscle-specific lncRNA CARMN (Dong et al.,Circulation,2021;He et al.,Gastroenterology,2023;and He et al.,Gastro Hepa Advances,2024),which is considered the most important lncRNA identified in smooth muscle to date.
