The Zheng lab mainly focuses on utilizing single-cell genomics to investigate the multi-dimensional regulatory mechanisms of development and disease. Specifically, our group aims to explore three key processes of the human life cycle, such that early embryonic development and germ cell development, immune responses, and tissues and organs diseases. Our group aims to investigate the heterogeneity of cells, tissues, organs, and individuals at the multi-molecule phenotype level to uncover the regulatory mechanisms of individual heterogeneous phenotypes.
To achieve these goals, our group employs a "dry and wet combination" approach, utilizing high-throughput sequencing technology, single-cell multi-omics sequencing technology, genomic analysis technology, animal models, and functional experiments. In details, our group is especially interested at the following aspects.
To investigate the mechanism on forming inflammatory memory and its long-term effects.
To explore the developmental origins of mammalian diseases.
To research the disease-induced immune responses, and the molecular and cellular phenotypes in the progression of the disease.
Our group is constructing, and we are excited to welcome new members to join in. We are seeking researchers with a diverse range of talents and backgrounds. We are committed to creating a collaborative and inclusive environment that fosters creativity and innovation. If you are interested in joining our team, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
