About Me

HZ

I'm a biomedical engineer with a PhD and deep expertise in aging, regeneration, and bioengineering. My research spans mechanobiology, cell-matrix mechanics, and innovative wound treatment technologies.


Beyond research, I'm passionate about entrepreneurship and provide consulting services for biotech startups, investors, and research institutions looking to translate breakthrough science into real-world impact.

Areas of Expertise

My work bridges the gap between laboratory research and commercial application. At Washington University, I've developed deep technical expertise in cell biology and biophysics, while roles at BALSA, InSite, and Kennedy Capital Management have given me hands-on experience consulting for early-stage startups and supporting biotech investments. I'm especially excited by the intersection of regenerative medicine, biotech entrepreneurship, and innovations that translate bench-side discoveries to bedside impact.
