New Members in Zhang Laboratory
Chunhua Chen, a Ph.D. student from China, has recently joined Zhang lab. Chunhua is interested in focal cerebral ischemia. Wenwu Liu, also a Ph.D. student from China, is interested in therapeutic interventions for maternal hypoxia. We anticipate great work from these two!
Farewell to Dr. Takumi Sozen
Dr. Sozen, a neurosurgeon from Japan, has completed his research training in Zhang lab and has recently returned to clinical practice in Japan. Dr. Sozen co-authored a couple papers and had his original article accepted for publication in Stroke. We wish Dr. Sozen the best!
Welcome Drs. Yan Zhan & Kamil Duris
Two new researchers joined the Zhang Lab in June. Dr. Yan Zhan, a neurosurgeon from China, will spend one year pursuing experimental treatments of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Dr. Kamil Duris, a neurosurgeon from Czech Republic, will stay with us for two years to research cerebrovascular diseases. May the time spent in the Zhang lab be fruitful for both of you!
Farewell to Drs. Oumei Cheng & Bihua Wu
Drs. Oumei Cheng and Bihua Wu returned to their native China after having completed their research training in the Zhang lab. Even though they were staying for only one year, each of them conducted two studies and wrote two manuscripts, currently being prepared for submission. We are hoping that their papers will soon appear in prestigious journals!
The Zhang Lab welcomes 3 new researches this fall
Dr. Orhan Altay and Dr. Zhaohui He are neurosurgeons whose work is aimed at developing novel therapies of brain injury following subarachnoid hemorrhage. Dr. Altay is from Turkey and will stay with us for two years. Dr. He is from China and is a visiting research fellow. Our third addition is Qin Hu, a graduate student from Beijing. Ms. Hu will study neuroprotection in the focal ischemic stroke model. Both Dr. He and Qin will stay in our Lab for one year.
