Biography
Dr. Zuo is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine. He has OSU-P status with the Graduate School and is advising MS or PhD students at The Ohio State University. Zuo is also a faculty member of OSU Biophysics Graduate Program. Zuo’s research objective is to study the biological function of respiratory muscle using noninvasive methodology and preconditioning therapies. Zuo’s group is developing the stem cell treatments for respiratory muscle dysfunction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Zuo’s research emphasizes on the molecular and cellular mechanism of stress-induced free radicals formation in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Particularly his team aims at identifying new roles of free radicals on diverse disease models such as cardiovascular ischemia/reperfusion injuries, skeletal muscle dysfunction in hypoxia, and COPD induced damage on respiratory muscle. Currently, Dr. Zuo serves as the Academic Editor for PeerJ and Associate Editor for Frontiers in Striated Muscle Physiology and Frontiers in Physiology.
