Lu Zeng, PhD

Dr. Lu Zeng is a statistical geneticist whose research integrates statistical genetics, computational biology, and multi-omics to investigate the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying neurological and autoimmune diseases, with a particular focus on multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease. Her research combines large-scale genome-wide association studies with single-cell genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, and proteomics to identify disease-associated cell types, genes, and molecular pathways. Her work aims to translate human genetic discoveries into biological insights that advance our understanding of disease mechanisms and inform the development of therapeutic strategies.
