Yue ZHOU received her BS in Microbiology from Fudan University, MS in Medical Microbiology and Immunology from Jiao Tong University, and PhD in Biochemistry and Bioinformatics from the University of Massachusetts Lowell. From 2003 to 2007, she worked in Stanford University and VA-PAHCS as a postdoctoral fellow. She joined the faculty of the Med-X Research Institute and School of Biomedical Engineering of Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2009. Her research specifically looks into the molecular mechanism of biophysical factors in regulating vascular remodeling and tissue regeneration, as well as the host immune response to tissue engineering implants. Her researches are funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology and National Natural Science Foundation of China. She has published over 40 papers in peer-reviewed journals including Arteriosclerosis Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, Biomaterials and Acta Biomaterialia. She teaches four undergraduate and graduate courses, including Cell Biology (honor course), Introduction to Biology and Medicine (honor course) and Scientific English Writing & Presentation. She received Outstanding Teacher award from the university in 2016.
