Lu Zhang
Postdoctoral Scholar, Endocrinology and Metabolism
BioLu is a postdoctoral research scholar in Dr. Anna Gloyn's Translational Genomics of Diabetes Lab. During her master's and doctoral studies, she focused on epigenomics and single-cell multi-omics analysis, with an emphasis on 3D genomics. Her research included developing Hi-Tag, a chromatin conformation capture technique designed for use with small cell samples. This method provides valuable insights into the organization of chromatin in the cell. She has built strong expertise in combining different types of biological data, including RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, chromatin interaction data, and single-cell data. She has contributed to several research projects as a co-author, including studies that used genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and GTEX data to connect multi-omics data with functional genomics. These experiences have helped her gain a deep understanding of how to integrate different types of genomic data to solve complex biological problems. Currently, Lu is focused on applying her research skills to diabetes.

Peng Zhang
Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Institute Operations
BioI am a visiting postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, specializing in Dr. Nguyen’s lab. I am a PhD in Integrative Medicine with research focus on elucidating the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying immune-metabolic disorders, including but not limited to cardiovascular diseases, bone diseases, and autoimmune diseases. My work integrates traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories with modern biomedical approaches, employing techniques such as multi-omics analysis, network pharmacology, and in vivo/in vitro disease modeling to explore novel therapeutic strategies and biomarker discovery.
