- Currently a 1st year student in the MGG PhD program
I transitioned to Dr. Kezhong Zhang’s lab in September 2023 as a master’s student and full-time lab manager/research assistant. My research interest focuses on understanding the functional relationship between the transcription factor CREBH and hepatic lipid uptake. The mechanisms by which CREBH regulates hepatic lipid metabolism and its role in conditions such as hypertriglyceridemia, fatty liver disease, and atherosclerosis. During my time in Dr. Zhang’s lab, I have gained valuable experience and skills in molecular biology and genetics. CMMG is a great place for training future scientists. Inspired by this supportive environment and my passion for research, I decided to pursue my PhD at Wayne State University. I believe this program will help me grow as a scientist and open doors to future opportunities in my career within this field.
