Dr Jiaxi Zhou is a principle investigator and associate director of State Key Laboratory of Experimental Hematology, Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Perking Union of Medical College. He obtained his PhD from the Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2004 then received the postdoctoral training at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from 2005-2010. He joined the SKLEH as a group leader in the end of 2010. Dr. Jiaxi Zhou’s laboratory has a long-term interest in the study of early hematopoietic differentiation, generation of megakaryocytes (MKs) and platelet from human pluripotent stem cells as well as hematopoietic disorders modelling with hPSCs. His group recently have successfully captured the human MKs both in vivo and in vitro and identified their transcriptome in single cell solution. Novel markers and functional heterogeneity of human MKs were characterized. Highly efficient strategy for derivation of HPC as well as MKs and platelet in large-scale was developed base on this knowledge.
