Junxiang Zhou

Junxiang Zhou is a postdoctoral scholar in the laboratory of Professor Yishi Jin at the UC San Diego School of Biological Sciences. He received his undergraduate degree in life sciences from the University of Science and Technology of China, and his PhD at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. During PhD he studied the relationship between mitochondrial dynamics and metabolism. As a postdoctoral scholar, he is interested in how neurons adapt to diverse external and internal stresses. He currently employs the transparent nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system to investigate the reorganization of cytoskeletal architecture within neurons under different stress conditions, aiming to shed light on the mechanisms behind neuronal resilience and adaptation.
