Biography

Lin Zhu is a research assistant professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Her research interest is to understand the relationship between energy homeostasis and inflammation, which might be a foundational mechanism for insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis. Her research focuses on the use of mouse disease models to identify mechanisms that underlie insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. She aims to define fundamental principles of how to improve HDL function for patients with type-2 diabetes to reduce cardiovascular disease. During her training as a postdoctoral fellow at Vanderbilt Medical Center, she developed expertise in many aspects of studying physiology in rodents, including metabolic clamp technique combined with complex tracers, body composition analysis, calorimetry techniques and measurement of physiologic parameters such as blood pressure, glucose tolerance, lipid production studies and lipoprotein analysis. She also gained hand-on skills for study atherosclerosis and the regulation of the risk factors such as inflammation and HDL function. She has PhD in Human Health and Nutritional Sciences from the University of Guelph Canada. She gained her MD in China and was a clinician as a neurologist for 6 years.
