Kristy Zera
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioKristy did her undergraduate work at Bates College in Lewiston, ME where she received a BA in Biology in 2012. She then moved to Athens, GA where she obtained a PhD in Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences from the University of Georgia in 2017. Her research investigated the role of the transcription factor HIF-1a in thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency-induced neurological damage. She joined the Buckwalter lab in late 2017 to continue researching mechanisms of neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. She is interested in investigating the role of astrocytes in neuroinflammation following stroke. Ultimately, understanding how astrocytes mediate neuroinflammation in the context of disease and neurological injury may identify therapeutic targets to protect the brain following injury.

Hao Zhang
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Cardiovascular Institute
BioDr. Hao Zhang is a postdoctoral fellow working with Dr. Joseph Wu at Stanford Cardiovascular Institute. At Stanford, his focus is to develop and optimize differentiation protocol of iPSCs to cardiac fibroblasts, elucidate patient-specific mechanisms of cardiac fibrosis in cell and tissue levels, and utilize high-throughput technology to screen anti-fibrosis drugs. Dr. Zhang received his MD at Peking Union Medical School, Tsinghua University (2013), Beijing. After graduation, he became a cardiologist at Fuwai Hospital. At Peking Union Medical School, Dr. Zhang was trained by his mentor, Dr. Yue-jin Yang, to investigate the microenvironment in the adult heart following ischemic injury, such as myocardial infarction. During his clinical training, Dr. Zhang studied calcified valve disease and TAVR technology in the cardiology department, where he was supervised by Dr. Yong-jian Wu.
