Zhenwu Zhuang is a Senior Research Scientist in Cardiovascular Medicine at Yale School of Medicine, with expertise in multi-modality cardiovascular, respiratory, and tumoral imaging. His work focuses on visualizing and quantifying angiogenesis, arteriogenesis, permeability, and organ function through four themes: novel contrast agents, molecular probes, imaging algorithms, and applications in myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and cardiac arrest models. Zhuang has a broad background in Radiology, Molecular Imaging, and Translational Medicine, with technical skills in microPET/microCT, immunohistochemistry, and small animal imaging.
- MS, Nanjing Medical College (1996)
- MD, Nanjing Medical College (1989)
His research spans ischemic stroke and Alzheimer's disease models, exploring coronary microvascular disease mechanisms and cardiac arrest-induced cognitive deficits. Zhuang collaborates with Yale researchers like Michael Simons and Daniela Tirziu, contributing to studies on endothelial cell dynamics and epigenetic biomarkers. While no specific awards are listed, his work emphasizes non-invasive imaging strategies to predict recovery in ischemic conditions and HDAC6 inhibition as a therapeutic target.
Current projects include developing dynamic imaging for microthrombi monitoring and assessing synaptic dysfunction post-cardiac arrest. Zhuang is affiliated with Yale's Center for Brain & Mind Health and Cardiovascular Medicine department, with a mailing address at 300 George Street, New Haven, CT.
