Shiju Zhang

I graduated from a medical school outside of the United States in the year 2000 and obtained my doctoral degree in 2006. I worked as a cardiac surgeon at the China National Heart Center (Fu Wai Hospital) for a duration of 16 years. My specialization involves the treatment of adult congenital heart diseases and valve disorders, as well as minimally invasive surgical treatment for pediatric congenital heart diseases. As a result, I possess expertise in creating various animal experimental models. I also have significant research experience, having published over 10 papers in international journals. In 2022, I immigrated to the United States and joined Dr. Dazhi Wang's lab at USF.
