Tong Zhou, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor

Summary

Dr. Tong Zhou obtained his Ph.D. from Southeast University, China in 2006. After postdoc training at the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, the University of Texas at Austin (mentored by Dr. Claus O. Wilke), Dr. Zhou joined Dr. Joe "Skip" Garcia's group as a bioinformatician, where he grew his interest in translational medicine. Dr. Zhou's broad research background and training has been rooted in computational biology, with experience in genomics, genetics, biostatistics, and molecular evolution. While Dr. Zhou's lab is purely computational, he frequently collaborates with experimental and clinical researchers to understand the massive amount of information derived from the omic techniques.
