Vivi Zhou

Vivi Zhou is a Researcher in the Department of Internal Medicine at Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, Netherlands. Her work focuses on the genetic underpinnings of bone disorders, particularly atypical femur fractures and monogenic bone mass disorders.

Her research spans Genetics, Molecular Biology, and Medicine, with specific emphasis on candidate gene studies, exome sequencing, and prevalence analysis of monogenic disorders. She investigates genetic variations including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their associations with bone diseases through large patient cohort studies.

Her publication trend (2019-2024) reveals consistent focus on bone genetics, transitioning from methodological bioinformatics approaches to clinical applications in bone disorders. Recent work centers on atypical femur fracture genetics and monogenic bone mass disorders using genomic techniques like exome sequencing and genome-wide association studies.

Zhou maintains extensive international collaborations across European institutions, as evidenced by multi-center Dutch cohort studies and the GEMSTONE Working Group initiatives. Current projects emphasize gene discovery pipelines and therapeutic development for bone mass disorders through large-scale genomic analyses.
