Dr. Jo Zhou

Biography

Jo Huiqing Zhou is a Professor of Molecular Developmental Biology at Radboud University. His research focuses on elucidating the fundamental mechanisms underlying stem cell fate determination and the pathology of pivotal human development diseases. By leveraging systems biology methodologies, including (single-cell) multi-omics computational integrative analyses, his team investigates gene regulation in human stem cells derived organotypic models across healthy and diseased states. Studies conducted under his guidance uncover fundamental insights into the regulatory circuitry mechanisms of stem cells, providing powerful tools for tissue regeneration and therapeutic interventions. His expertise extends to (single-cell) multi-omics, data integration, and human stem cell-derived organotypic models, such as human induced pluripotent stem cells and primary keratinocytes. Zhou supervises a research group, which includes PhD students and a postdoctoral fellow, and he has coordinated various significant research grants including ZonMw Open and the Velux Stiftung Ophthalmology project. An engaged educator, he contributes to the development of curriculums in his field and has held the position of Associate Professor in Human Genetics since March 2007.
