Biography

Zia Khan is a Professor and Vice-Chair in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Western University. He holds a Master of Science degree from Northeastern University and a PhD from the University of Western Ontario. His research focuses on the mechanisms of vascular stem cell differentiation and postnatal blood vessel formation in both physiological and pathological conditions. The research involves studying chronic diabetes and infantile hemangioma model systems to understand the differentiation and proliferation of vascular stem cells and their regression. Khan's work aims to elucidate the signals that regulate the number and activities of vascular stem cells, which can lead to the development of effective treatment options, including pro- and anti-angiogenic therapies. His commitment to advancing understanding in this field highlights his significant contributions to vascular biology and regenerative medicine.
