Bin Zhou MD, PhD

Dr. Zhou's focuses on molecular and cellular mechanisms in cardiovascular development and diseases. He and colleagues apply an integrated approach of mouse genetics, developmental embryology, cell and molecular biology to study how cardiovascular precursor cells are specified and differentiated into different cardiovascular tissues during development and regeneration. They are currently working on four projects: endocardial cell specification and differentiation, transcriptional regulation of cardiac valve development, modeling of heart valve diseases, and epigenetic and genetic regulation of heart and coronary vessel development.
