Yang Zhou is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at Brown University, where his research focuses on the dysregulation of the immune system and its contributions to lung injury and repair mechanisms in diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, asthma, pulmonary hypertension, and respiratory infections. Zhou's lab employs translational methodologies, integrating cell cultures, animal models, and human disease samples with computational tools to identify the molecular and cellular mechanisms that mediate responses to lung injury and repair, as well as to discover specific molecular targets for therapeutic interventions in related disorders. He earned his PhD from the University of Texas and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Yale University before joining Brown. His research interests are centered on understanding the immunopathogenesis of lung injuries, focusing on aspects such as adenosine signaling, chitinase-like proteins, and the roles of innate immunity and Type 2 immune responses in lung diseases.
