Xin Zhou PhD

Dr. Xin Zhou received his Ph.D. in Genetics and Genome Sciences from the University of Connecticut Health Center and The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine. He was trained under the Integrative Human Microbiome Project (https://www.hmpdacc.org/ihmp/ ) and has a particular focus on deciphering the complex interaction between the human microbiome and the immune system. His work demonstrated an interaction between the immune system and members from class Clostridia might improve the epithelium barrier integrity and therefore prevent the inflammation related to the onset and progression of insulin resistance.

Xin works at the Department of Genetics at Stanford University exploring the systematic dynamics between human microbiome, transcriptome, immunome, lipidome, and metabolome during health and disease progression.
