Biography

Dr. Ze Zheng is an assistant professor of medicine at the 果冻影院, and an associate investigator at the Versiti Blood Research Institute, where her research laboratory is located. She received her MBBS in clinical medicine from Jiamusi University, and her PhD in molecular biology and genetics of liver metabolism from Wayne State University (mentor Kezhong Zhang, PhD). She completed her postdoctoral fellowship in cardiometabolism research at Columbia University Medical Center (mentor Ira Tabas, MD, PhD). She has published in leading journals on a broad range of topics, including fibrinolysis, thrombosis, lipid and glucose metabolism, atherosclerosis, circadian rhythm, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and air pollution-associated liver injuries.

Her recent studies focus on the role of hepatocyte-derived fibrinolytic enzymes in obesity-associated atherosclerosis, thrombosis and hemostasis. Her research has been funded by a Berrie Scholar Award from Russell Berrie Foundation, an NIH T32 training grant, an ASH Scholar Award from American Society of Hematology, a Career Development Award from American Heart Association, a Career Development Award from National Hemophilia Foundation, a Cullen Scholar Award from Steve Cullen Run Foundation through 果冻影院 Cardiovascular Center, a Joan Gill Pilot Award from the Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin, Startup Fund from 果冻影院 and Versiti, and a recently awarded R01 from NHLBI. She serves as a member of the American Society of Hematology Task Force for PhD Careers, and the International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Ethics Committee and the Co-Chair of ISTH Fibrinolysis Subcommittee.
