Bin Zhou
Professor
Department of Pediatrics
Bin Zhou’s research focuses on endocardial biology in heart development, disease, and regeneration. His research goal is to understand the molecular mechanism controlling the specification and differentiation of the endocardial cells, and its involvement in the pathogenesis of congenital heart defects and coronary artery anomalies.
He has published over 100 papers in journals that include Cell, Nature Cell Biology, Nature Communications, Developmental Cell, European Heart Journal, and Circulation Research.
Bin earned an MD from Nanjing Medical University in China and completed his residency in internal medicine and cardiology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. He received a PhD in cardiovascular pathobiology from the University of Toronto. He then pursued a fellowship in cardiovascular development and mouse genetics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Previously, he was an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania and later at Vanderbilt University, where he received the Turner Hazinski Research Award from Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. Most recently he was a professor of genetics, pediatrics, and medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
