Zijing Zhou is a PhD student in the Peking-Tsinghua-NIBS (PTN) Joint Graduate Program at Tsinghua University, having joined Chen Lab in 2025. Her research focuses on the neuro-immune landscape of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Specifically, she investigates the interactions of immune cells within the AD brain, with a particular emphasis on identifying AD-specific neoantigens and characterizing their cognate TCRs. In her free time, Zijing enjoys reading, travelling and petting dogs.
