Zijun Zhou

Zijun Zhou is a Researcher in the Department of Internal Medicine at Erasmus MC, Erasmus University Rotterdam, specializing in immunology and cancer research using genetically-engineered mouse models and drug development approaches.

Education:

• Master in Small molecule drug testing and cancer research on genetically-engineered mice models from Guangdong Pharmaceutical University (2016-2019)
• Bachelor from University of South China (2010-2015)

Zhou's research spans primary immunodeficiencies including STAT3 gain-of-function syndrome and interferon gamma receptor defects, cancer angiogenesis, and evolutionary immunology. Work involves developing murine disease models, investigating immune gene variants in human evolution, and testing BRD4 inhibitors for anti-angiogenic therapy. Recent publications highlight clinical manifestations of immunodeficiencies and molecular mechanisms in tumor progression.
