Associate professor/master's supervisor | Department:Department of Neurobiology
Address:No.10, Xitoutiao, You’anmenwai, Beijing
Research Area:Dr. Zhao specializes in establishing neurodevelopmental disorder models utilizing large-animal species, including monkeys and dogs. Canines show species-specific characteristics: their emotional and social abilities, ease of training and obedience, brain structure and function similar to that of humans, and feasibility of gene editing and cloning. His research focuses on elucidating the pathological underpinnings of social disorders, such as autism, and assessing the efficacy of potential therapeutic interventions.
