Bin Zhao Professor National Clinical Research Center for Metabolic Diseases, Second Xiangya Hospital Central South Univ
Bin Zhao is a professor at the National Key Laboratory of Diabetes Immunology, Ministry of Education, Furong Laboratory at the Central South University, and National Clinical Research Center for Metabolic Diseases at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. He obtained his Ph.D. from Karolinska Institutet (CMB) and completed his postdoctoral training at the University of Pennsylvania and the National Institutes of Health. His research group utilizes Multi-omics techniques such as single-cell sequencing, proteomics, metabolomics, and conditional gene knockout mouse disease models aiming to identify crucial molecules that regulate T and B cell development, differentiation, and metabolism, with a particular focus on their role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. In addition to their experimental work, his group also leverages large population cohort databases to construct risk prediction models for chronic metabolic diseases and autoimmune diseases. As first author/corresponding author, he has published in prestigious journals, including JAMA Internal Medicine(2024)、Circulation (2022), Nature Immunology (2019), Journal of Autoimmunity (2024), European Journal of Epidemiology (2022), and Nature Communications(2024). He has received multiple grants, including the Major National Science and Technology Project, Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Swedish Medical Society, and Major Science and Technology Project of Hunan Province. Additionally, He serves as an executive director of the Basic Immunology Branch of the Asia-Pacific Medical and Biological Immunology Society, deputy chairman of the Youth Committee of the Hunan Immunology Society, and an associate editor of BMC Medicine as well as a board member of journals like Phenomics and Life Medicine.
