Biography

Renee Chow completed her PhD at the University of Cambridge, where she studied retinal development under the supervision of Professor Bill Harris. After obtaining her PhD, she joined the lab of Dr. Julien Vermot in Strasbourg, researching the role of mechanical forces in heart development. In 2019, she was awarded a fellowship from the Lefoulon-Delalande Foundation. In 2023, she established her own lab at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute, Monash University. Her research interests focus on the formation of heart valves during embryonic development, the progression of heart valve disease, and the mechanisms by which heart valves heal from injury. The Chow Group utilizes zebrafish genetics and cutting-edge live imaging and micromanipulation techniques to understand how mechanical forces related to heartbeat and blood flow affect heart valve biology.
