Zhilian Hu
Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Research Scientist
- I completed my Ph.D. in 2012 in Developmental Biology from the University of Freiburg (Germany), where I focused on molecular mechanisms underlying defective dopaminergic systems of zebrafish in the laboratory of Prof. Wolfgang Driever. I moved to USA in 2013 to start my journey as a post-doctoral research fellow and my projects focused mainly on coagulation factor associated hemostatic disorders and effects of ECM molecules on abnormous development of endoderm/mesoderm derivatives including heart of zebrafish. In 2017, I was brought to Oxford by nice projects in the field of developmental and regenerative medicine, where I am immersing myself in the molecular events of fish heart regeneration in the laboratory of Prof. Mathilda Mommersteeg.
