Dr. Jiangjiang "Chris" Zhu is assistant professor of Human Nutrition in the Department of Human Sciences and the Comprehensive Cancer Center since January 2019. Chris obtained his undergraduate and master degree from Donghua University in Shanghai, China. He studied with Professor Jane Hill (currently at Dartmouth College) at the University of Vermont for his Ph.D., which mainly focused on novel mass spectrometry method development for rapid bacteria detection and identification. Chris then took a postdoctoral position at the Northwest Metabolomics Research Center, the University of Washington with Professor Dan Raftery, worked on the mass spectrometry-based metabolic profiling for cancer biomarker discovery and disease diagnosis/monitoring. He was an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Miami University between 2015 and 2018.
