报告人简历
Michael Xi Zhu is professor of Department of Integrative Biology and Pharmacology, the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, Texas. He received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry in 1991 from University of Houston and did his postdoctoral training in Cellular and Molecular Biology from 1991-1994 at Baylor College of Medicine. He then worked as an Assistant Researcher in the Department of Anesthesiology, UCLA, from 1994 to 1997. In Autumn of 1997, he went to the Ohio State University to build his own lab and moved from the rank of Assistant Professor to Full Professor in the Department of Neuroscience there. In 2010, he moved to his current position at the University of Texas-Houston. Dr. Zhu’s research interests include several aspects of cell signaling, especially those that involve heterotrimeric G proteins and ion channels that affect Ca2+ signaling. He has published more than 100 research papers, reviews, and monographs on these topics and delivered lectures at many international conferences and symposia. Dr. Zhu’s main contributions include identification and characterization of multiple TRPC channels in mammalian species and determination of the molecular identity of endolysosomal Ca2+ release channels activated by the Ca2+ mobilizing messenger, NAADP. Dr. Zhu is a regular member of the Biophysical Society, Aspet and ASMBM. He is an Associate Editor of Journal of Cellular Physiology and a member of editorial boards of Pflügers Archiv and Molecular Pharmacology. He served as a regular member of the US NIH Molecular and Integrative Signal Transduction study section from 2010-2014.
