Zhuzhu Zhang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Chicago. Her research operates at the intersection of genomics, neuroscience, and bioinformatics, focusing on brain development disorders and their genetic underpinnings. Dr. Zhang's lab investigates the complexities of epigenomic regulation in the brain, exploring how genetic factors and life experiences influence neural circuits and behaviors. By employing innovative single-cell multi-omics and spatial genomics methodologies, her team aims to characterize dynamic gene regulation at the level of individual cell types and brain regions. They are particularly interested in elucidating how life experiences can leave lasting epigenetic imprints that affect susceptibility to neurological disorders. Dr. Zhang has made significant contributions to her field, highlighted by publications in prominent journals and her previous work as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies.
