Jing Zheng is an Education/Research Staff Member at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Science and Engineering within the Department of Analytical Biochemistry. Holding an MSc degree, she actively contributes to neuroscience research with institutional affiliation at A Deusinglaan 1, 9713 AV Groningen.
Her research centers on neuroimmunology and behavioral neuroscience, specifically investigating microglial function in neural development and behavior. She examines how prenatal infection and adolescent social adversity impact hippocampal and frontal lobe structures, synaptic density, and behavioral outcomes using rodent models. This work bridges neuroanatomy, neuropathology, and stress response mechanisms.
Her 2023 publication in Neurobiology of Stress demonstrates interdisciplinary trends, connecting immunological triggers (microglia activation) with behavioral neuroscience outcomes. The research shows significant citation impact (7 Scopus citations) and practical relevance for understanding neurodevelopmental disorders.
Dr. Zheng engages in collaborative science through glycomics research, co-developing the GlycoGenius high-throughput glycan analysis tool and participating in GlycoScienceNL events, demonstrating cross-disciplinary integration between neuroscience and biochemical methodologies.
