Dr. Shu Zhu
Professor and Dean, Division of Life Science and Medicine, University of Science and Technology of China.
Dr. Zhu received his Bachelor degree at University of Science and Technology of China, and completed his PhD at Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has been trained as a postdoc fellow in Richard Flavell’s lab at Immunobiology department, Yale University. He became a professor at University of Science and Technology of China since 2017.
His lab is currently using various mouse models and molecular/cellular/omics techniques to study intestinal immune responses toward environmental cues including microbes and food. They demonstrated how dsRNA from enteric viruses (norovirus, rotavirus, and commensal viruses) are recognized by intestinal epithelial cells-specific Nod-like recpetors-Nlrp6 and Nlrp9, and activate inflammasome and interferon (PNAS, 2024; Cell, 2021; Nature, 2017a; Science, 2015); and also sensed by DC-expressed Rig-I to sustain the expansion of intraepithelial lymphocytes (Nature Immunology, 2019). His lab recently elucidated that the dietary-antigen-dependent cleavage of Gasdermin D maintains food toleranceirrespective of pyroptosis (Cell, 2023).
His lab has also investigated the potential immune mechanisms that contribute to microbiota dysbiosis (Cell Research, 2022; PNAS, 2021), and role of microbiota dysbiosis (elevated Clostridium scindens, Peptostreptococcus anaerobius, or Enterococcus faecalis and these bacteria produced metabolites DCA, IDA, or Tyramine) in colorectal cancer or IBD development (Immunity, 2024; Nature Cell Biology, 2024; Cell Host Microbe, 2024); They also developed strategies (glucosylated nanoparticle encapsulated antibiotics or vitamin B5 supplementation) to intervene microbiota dysbiosis and associated diseases such as IBD (Nature Biomedical Engineering, 2022; Cell Reports, 2022).
Dr. Zhu received a series of national talent scholarships, as well as career stage awards including
Guo Moruo Scholarship, RayWu prize, Helen Hay Whitney/HHMI Fellowship, MIT Technology Review 35 Innovators Under 35 China, and Qiushi Award, etc. He is also an amateur painter and an amateur soccer player.
