About
The Zhao Lab focuses on blood stem cells and diseases. Our goals are to define and understand the mechanism of blood stem cells, how these processes are hijacked by disease and how we develop therapeutic strategies. We use genetic models and clinical specimens to dissect the mechanisms of rare blood stem cells in respect to their cell-intrinsic and microenvironment regulations. We emphasize basic science that ridge to Clinical Medicine for the success of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and leukemia treatment.
The Zhao Lab is accepting applications for postdoctoral fellows and Ph.D. candidates. Please email your info to ZhaoM_Lab@163.com
The City
Guangzhou is the capital and largest city of Guangdong province in southern China. Located on the Pearl River about 120 km north-northwest of Hong Kong and 145 km north of Macau, Guangzhou has a history of over 2,200 years and was a major terminus of the maritime Silk Road; it continues to serve as a major port and transportation hub as well as being one of China's three largest cities. Due to a high urban population and large volumes of port traffic, Guangzhou is classified as a Large-Port Megacity, the largest type of port-city in the world. Guangzhou is a major centre of research and innovation in the Asia-Pacific with a high level of scientific research output, ranking 14th globally, 6th in the Asia-Pacific and 4th in China, and is home to many of China's most prestigious universities, including Sun Yat-sen University.
