The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine would like to welcome one of our newest faculty members, Qiang Zhu, PhD, who was appointed as Research Assistant Professor in February.<\/p>\n

Dr.\u00a0Zhu\u00a0received his Bachelor of Medicine degree from Southwest Medical University, Sichuan, China, his MS in Biochemsitry and Molecular Biology from Sichuan University and completed his PhD in Pathobiology and Translational Science at UNC Chapel Hill.<\/p>\n

Dr.\u00a0Zhu\u00a0first joined the UNC team in 2014 as a Graduate Research Assistant in the department, where he served from 2014-2020 before transitioning to a Postdoctoral Research Associate role. Dr.\u00a0Zhu\u2019s research is focused on understanding heart diseases, specifically on unraveling the pathogenesis of those conditions and investigating the mechanism of mitochondria homeostasis in cardiomyocytes. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as proteomics, metabolomics, live cell imaging, super-resolution microscopy, and genetically modified mouse models, Dr. Zhu\u2019s work delves into the molecular intricacies in underlying mitochondrial health in cardiomyocytes.<\/p>\n
