Assistant Professor, Docent

My research mainly focuses on the integration of multi-omics, the interplay between genetics and phenotypes, and the development of data-driven strategies/tools for precision medicine.

Research Interests:

My research mainly focuses on the integration of multi-omics, the interplay between genetics and phenotypes, and the development of data-driven strategies/tools for precision medicine. The aim is to investigate the molecular biomarkers for the estimation of disease risks, early diagnosis of disease, stratification of drug treatment response, disease progression monitoring and the stratification of patients.

Understanding the neuropeptide systems in human prefrontal cortex

Wen Zhong, new DDLS Fellow at LiU, has been involved in a study connected to the Human Protein Atlas. The international collaborative study’s finding will contribute to identify novel therapeutic strategies of relevance for human brain disorders.
Wen Zhong

The first DDLS Fellow at LiU is recruiting

Wen Zhong is the first DDLS Fellow that has been recruited to LiU. With the help of a postdoctoral fellowship she is now expanding her research group. “We welcome a creative, self-motivated, and proactive team-player to join the research team.”

Organisation

The Division of Cell and Neurobiology (CNB)

The Division of Cell and Neurobiology is a dynamic and innovative environment where we conduct research and teaching on both the structure and function of various cells as well as the nervous system and sensory organs.

Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences (BKV)

What characterizes the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences (BKV) is the wide breadth of research and education. BKV is one of the largest departments at LiU with affiliation mainly to the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.
