Autorenporträt

Yutong Zhao is a Professor of Physiology and Cell Biology at The Ohio State University. He received his clinical medical degree from Dalian Medical University in China and PhD degree from Gifu University School of Medicine in Japan. He was trained in biochemistry, molecular biology, and active lipid signaling during his PhD student period. He joined a pulmonary postdoctoral training program at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and received his first NIH R01 funding at the University of Chicago as a Research Assistant Professor. Dr. Zhao is an expert in research fields of lung biology, bioactive lysophospholipid, and protein ubiquitination. His research focuses on investigating the pathogenesis of lung diseases including acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary arterial hypertension, asthma, lung cancer, and COPD. The goal of Dr. Zhao's laboratory research is to develop new therapeutic targets for treating lung diseases. Dr. Zhao is active in academic professional services as a reviewer, associate editor, and member of editorial boards of scientific journals and grant review study sections.
