معرفی
Dr. Zhonghua Gao is an Associate Professor at the Department of Molecular and Precision Medicine, Penn State Cancer Institute, and part of the Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology program at Penn State College of Medicine. His research focuses on epigenetic mechanisms governing cell identity.
- Expertise in Polycomb group complexes and chromatin regulation
- Investigates links to cancer and autism
His lab uses in vitro neuronal differentiation models with mouse and human embryonic stem cells to study PRC1 complex dynamics.
Recent trends in his publications highlight epigenetic regulation in hematopoietic stem cells, neuronal differentiation, and PRC1 complex interactions. Key subfields include chromatin structure, gene transcription, and disease pathogenesis.
Dr. Gao has received grants from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (2019-2022) and the American Heart Association (2017-2019), focusing on PRC1's role in cell identity and cardiac differentiation.
