Assistant Professor of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology

Overview

Yang Zhou is an assistant professor in the department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at Brown University. He studies how the immune system is dysregulated and contributes to the pathogenesis of lung injury and repair, in diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, asthma, pulmonary hypertension, and respiratory infections. His lab uses translational approaches intergrating cell cultures, animal models, human disease samples, as well as computational tools, to identify the molecular and cellular mechanisms that mediate lung injury and repair responses and specific molecular targets that can be targeted in the treatment of related disorders. Dr. Zhou completed a PhD at the University of Texas and a post-doctoral fellowship at Yale University before coming to Brown.
