معرفی
Dandan Zhu is an Adjunct Research Fellow at the Hudson Institute - The Ritchie Centre. Her research focuses on regenerative therapies using clinical animal models, with expertise in stem cell research, neonatal respiratory physiology, and lung development. She contributed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals through medical innovations in respiratory disease treatment.
Her work involves collaborations on projects like the Developing low-cost regenerative medicine for premature babies (2020-2022), funded by Victoria's Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions. This project aimed to address chronic respiratory conditions in preterm infants using regenerative approaches.
Main research directions include optimizing extracellular vesicle production from amniotic epithelial cells, studying 3D culture effects on stem cell potency, and developing novel exosome isolation techniques (e.g., SWANS system). Her recent publications emphasize translational applications of stem cell-derived therapies and bioreactor systems.
Zhu has authored/co-authored 14 peer-reviewed articles, including high-impact contributions to Stem Cell Research & Therapy, Proteomics, and Lab on a Chip. Her work has been cited over 100 times and referenced in patents and news outlets.
