Han Zhu
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine)
BioDr. Zhu is an Assistant Professor of Medicine whose clinical and research expertise focuses on cardio-oncology and cardio-immunology. She specializes in the cardiovascular care of patients undergoing therapies for cancer, with a particular focus on the effects of immunotherapies on the heart. She received a bioengineering degree from MIT, medical degree from Case Western Reserve University, and completed clinical cardiology fellowship and internal medicine residency training at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Zhu’s laboratory focuses on myocarditis, cardiac inflammation, and the effects of cancer therapeutics on the cardiovascular system. Her current research employs clinical data, bio-banked samples, and in vivo/in vitro preclinical models in combination with single-cell technologies to study immune-based toxicities in the heart. Dr. Zhu's clinic sees cardio-oncology and cardio-immunology patients and her lab focuses on devising new methods for minimizing cardiovascular complications in the cancer and autoimmune patient populations.

Alfred Zong
Assistant Professor of Physics and Applied Physics
BioI am an assistant professor in the Departments of Physics and of Applied Physics, and my group focuses on the study of light-induced non-equilibrium phenomena in quantum materials. To capture the ultrafast dynamics on the nanoscale, we develop a variety of techniques such as ultrafast electron diffraction and microscopy, attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, and coherent diffraction imaging. These time-resolved probes are integrated with a complex sample environment such as in-situ strain and electrostatic gating in order to design, discover, and understand non-equilibrium phases of quantum materials.
We are seeking motivated undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs to join the group. Please email me directly to discuss opportunities.

James Zou
Associate Professor of Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, of Computer Science and of Electrical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy group works on both foundations of statistical machine learning and applications in biomedicine and healthcare. We develop new technologies that make ML more accountable to humans, more reliable/robust and reveals core scientific insights.
We want our ML to be impactful and beneficial, and as such, we are deeply motivated by transformative applications in biotech and health. We collaborate with and advise many academic and industry groups. -
J. Bradley Zuchero
Associate Professor of Neurosurgery
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe are primarily focused on understanding myelinating glia (oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells). How is myelin formed, dynamically remodeled to support learning, and why does regeneration of myelin fail in disease? We are also interested in understanding novel roles of myelin in the nervous system, beyond its textbook role as an electrical insulator. We combine in vivo and primary culture models with the generation of new cell biology tools to answer these questions.

Lara Zwittlinger
Visiting Researcher Student, GR Visiting Researcher
BioLara Zwittlinger is pursuing her PhD in comparative politics and is currently a Visiting PhD Researcher at the Europe Center, Stanford University. She is supervised by Jessica Fortin-Rittberger and Simon Bornschier. Her research focuses on cleavage politics, democratic trajectories, and the ways citizens navigate emerging political conflicts. In particular, she examines how structural factors and situational threats shape political attitudes such as hostile sexism, ethnocentrism, and political polarization, as well as how interactions between political elites and citizens influence democratic development, with a strong focus on quantitative methods.
Zwittlinger completed her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in political science at the University of Salzburg within only three and a half years. Her bachelor’s thesis explored the relationship between cultural value orientations, implicit gender stereotypes, and gender segregation in STEM education and labor markets, while her master’s thesis examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on political attitudes and party preferences. In 2025, she received the Young Investigators Award for the best dissertation project at her home university after only one and a half years in the PhD program.
