Jie ZHOU, PhD

The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Prof Zhou’s research interests focus on developing organoid models and organoid-based virus research. She and her team established the first human respiratory organoid culture system and the first bat intestinal organoid. These physiologically active respiratory and intestinal organoids opened up new avenues for diverse applications in biomedical research, including modeling microbial infections and the development of antiviral agents.
Prof Jie Zhou is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Microbiology, The University of Hong Kong. She obtained her PhD from the University of Hong Kong in 2007 and finished postdoctoral training at UCSF in 2009. She has published over 100 research papers in prestigious journals including Nature Medicine, PNAS and Science Advances. She has been ranked a highly cited scholar by Clarivate Analytics since 2021.
