Yanbin Zheng

Dr. Yanbin Zheng is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. His research focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying pediatric cancers, particularly rhabdomyosarcoma and myofibromatosis, with emphasis on transcriptional regulation, signaling pathways, and therapeutic targets. He has contributed to studies on TGFβ signaling, PLAG1, and PDGFRB in cancer progression.

His work integrates computational biology, mouse models, and molecular genetics to elucidate oncogenic pathways. Key research interests include tumor suppressor gene activation, enhancer elements in cancer, and the role of kinases in myogenesis. Dr. Zheng collaborates with the Skapek Lab, advancing translational research in pediatric oncology.

Publications span 2002–2023, covering topics from lactate dehydrogenase biochemistry to modern cancer genomics. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the provided texts.
