Mingtao Zhao, DVM, PhD, is a principal investigator in the Center for Cardiovascular Research at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. He is an assistant professor (tenure-track) in the Department of Pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. Dr. Zhao completed his postdoc training with Dr. Joseph Wu at Stanford University School of Medicine, followed by an instructor position at Stanford Cardiovascular Institute in 2018. In August 2019, he moved to Columbus to set up his independent laboratory in Abigail Wexner Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Dr. Zhao’s research laboratory aims to decipher the molecular mechanisms controlling heart development and discover novel treatment for congenital heart disease using patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
