Biography

Shao-Ling Zhang is a professor at the University of Montreal in the Faculty of Medicine, specializing in maternal diabetes and its impact on kidney development. Her research investigates the molecular mechanisms by which a high glucose environment can adversely affect fetal development, particularly focusing on nephrogenesis and the programming of hypertension and kidney diseases later in life. She utilizes various advanced methodologies, including transgenic mouse models and DNA microarray techniques, to elucidate these mechanisms. Zhang has been involved in numerous research projects, examining the role of reactive oxygen species in diabetic nephropathy and the regulation of gene expression under high glucose conditions. She also leads several research initiatives funded by national health organizations. Over her career, she has supervised numerous graduate students, guiding them through their master's and doctoral studies, thereby contributing to the education and training of the next generation of researchers in her field.
