Leisheng Zhang
Dr. Leisheng Zhang’s interests mainly focus on the biological function and molecular mechanism of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), including early development from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), cellular phenotype and genomic analysis, and applied transformation research. He and his colleagues have identified a number of master regulators (TWIST1, MSX2, PRAME) during early MSC development. Simultaneously, his group has been working on immune cells, and, in particular, natural killer (NK) cells, on the basis of single cell sequencing and Raman spectroscopy. Representative studies of his group are available in journals such as Cell Research (2015), Journal of Hematology & Oncology (2017), Stem Cell Reports (2018), Stem Cell Research & Therapy (2018, 2019a, 2019b, 2020, 2021), Stem Cell Reviews and Reports (2020), Cell & Bioscience (2020), Cell Proliferation (2021), Stem Cells International (2020, 2021), and the American Journal of Cancer Research (2021).
