Shanghai UniXell Biotechnology
Shanzheng was a medical science graduate from Fudan University. He did his PhD at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, when he studied the mechanism controlling the migration of midbrain dopaminergic neurons (mDANs) during embryonic development.After PhD programme, he continued as a postdoc, when he optimized a new protocol for in vitro differentiation of human pluoripotent stem cells towards midbrain dopaminergic neurons. He also investigated the function of transcription factors involved in mDAN development using CRISPR-scRNA-seq, ATAC-seq and active transcription factor identification. He has published more than 20 articles in peer reviewed journals, such as Development, Communications Biology, Cell Reports, etc. In 2021, he joined UniXell as the senior director of R&D, involved in research and development of multiple neurological pipelines
