Dr. Zhao is dedicated to the development of next generation scientists and bioengineers to work at the forefront of regenerative medicine and diagnostics. We take the professional development of the personnel in the laboratory very seriously and do everything we can to ensure such experience serves as a pivotal stepping stone for everyone to become a world leader in the field. In particular, lab members will be provided with enormous opportunities including committed mentorship, research training, professional developments, and presentations in conferences, etc.
