Personal page: https://person.zju.edu.cn/labw

Research interests: 1) understand the epigenetic basis of transposable elements in cell fate descisions. 2) develop machine learning based algorithm to predict cell fate.

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Sebastian Leptihn: leptihn@intl.zju.edu.cn

Personal page: https://person.zju.edu.cn/en/H118063

Research interests: The Leptihn Group offers two Postdoctoral Fellowships; one project focusses on the investigation of membrane proteins controlling cellular signalling pathways employing microfluidics and single molecule methods (fluorescence, electrophysiology) together with the University of Edinburgh and the ZJUI (Zhejiang University-University of Illinois Urbana Champagne). The second project involves viruses of microbes (bacteriophages) with aspects on both, function and structure of phage proteins, as well as phage therapy. Experience in imaging and protein biochemistry or microbiology are desired.

Zhi Hong: zhihong@intl.zju.edu.cn

Personal page: https://person.zju.edu.cn/en/hongzhi

Research interests:

1. The regulation of organelle-organelle crosstalk on biogenesis-maturation- location of organelles.

2. The function or contribution of organelle-organelle crosstalk in stress response.

Immunology

Linrong Lu:lu_linrong@zju.edu.cn

Personal page: http://person.zju.edu.cn/en/llr

Research interests: The main focus of our lab is to elucidate the molecular pathways and cellular interactions that mediate and regulate thymocyte development and T cell-mediated immune responses by using molecular biology and genetic approaches. We are especially interested in the identification and characterization of novel immune-related molecules and the development and treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Cellular Biology

Wei Guo: weiguo@intl.zju.edu.cn

Personal page: https://person.zju.edu.cn/en/gwlab

Research interests: Dr. Wei Guo laboratory uses basic biological approaches to understand biomedical challenges and translates its understanding to clinical practice. There are two major research directions: (1) stress response and ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem cells; and (2) regulation and targeted inhibition of cancer resistance.

Xin Xie: xinxie@intl.zju.edu.cn

Research interests: We investigate signaling molecules within adult stem cells (intestinal、muscle and mesenchymal stem cells) regulate their fundamental properties in both physiological and pathological conditions.

Research interest: adult stem cell and related disorders

1. Intestinal stem cell, colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease.

2. Mesenchymal stem cell, muscle stem cell, musculoskeletal disorders and metabolic syndrome.

Mikael Bjorklund: mikaelbj@intl.zju.edu.cn

Personal page: https://person.zju.edu.cn/en/H118035

Research interests: Mikael Bjorklund lab works on cancer cell biology, focusing on cell growth and metabolism (Dev Cell, 2016; EMBO J, 2018). The main interest in the laboratory is how metabolism, particularly mitochondria, and cell size impact cellular fitness and functions.

Ting Gang Chew: tinggchew@intl.zju.edu.cn

Personal page: https://person.zju.edu.cn/en/H118023

Research interests: Ting Gang's lab couples modern genetics and high-resolution microscopy approaches to study cell pision and how its failure leads to genomic instability.

Chaochen Wang: chaochenwang@intl.zju.edu.cn

Personal page: http://zje.intl.zju.edu.cn/en/our-team/faculty

Research Interests: Dr Chaochen Wang’s lab focuses on dissecting the molecular mechanisms underlying the cell fate transition during ESC differentiation, mammary gland development and tumorigenesis. Leveraging CRISPR-mediated genome and epigenome engineering tools, NGS and bioinformatics, his lab aims for making prominent impact on stem cell study, cancer diagnosis and prognosis in a long run.

Kuan Yoow Chan: kychan@intl.zju.edu.cn

Personal page: https://person.zju.edu.cn/en/H118031

Research interests: The centrosome is an important signalling and microtubule organizing centre in mammalian cells. Centrosomal defects are a common in high grade cancer and have been shown to trigger tumorigenesis in mice. The impact of centrosomal defects in deregulating the cell cycle in cancer is poorly understood. In addition, cancer genome sequencing efforts worldwide show mutations on centrosomal components are common. Using genetic, cell biology and biochemical assays, we aim to study how the changes in centrosomal signalling lead to the deregulation of the cell cycle in cancer.
