Zhou Yiting, Ph.D
Biography
Dr, Zhou Yiting is Professor and Assistant Dean at School of Medicine, Zhejiang University.
His research interest includes Myogenesis and tenogenesis. Differentiation of skeletal muscle progenitors into multinucleated myotubes is a multi-step process that undergoes dramatic morphological changes and genetic reprogramming. The main focus of his lab is to elucidate molecular mechanisms for spatialtemporal regulation of myoblast differentiation and muscle regeneration. In addition, we are also interested in signaling pathways controlling insulin/IGF signaling. Current effort is geared towards (1) identifying the roles of phase separation in modulating insulin/IGF pathway and (2) delineating the roles of metabolic reprogramming in regulating cell fate decision.
