Ge Zhang, MD, PhD
Professor & Principal Investigator | ge.zhang@cchmc.org
Investigates the genetic and evolutionary architecture of pregnancy phenotypes, focusing on how these traits link to late-onset common disorders.
Our Team
We are a multidisciplinary group of researchers using cutting-edge genomic, epigenomic, and multi-omics tools to investigate pregnancy outcomes. Meet our team below.
Lab Members
Fansheng Kong, PhD, MBA
Staff Scientist, Lab Manager | Fansheng.Kong@cchmc.org
Experienced in biomedical wet-lab experiments, molecular biology, and animal maintenance. Also oversees administration, training, and daily lab operations.
Amit K. Srivastava, PhD
Staff Scientist | Amit.Srivastava@cchmc.org
Specializes in human population, evolutionary, and statistical genetics of pregnancy outcomes. Developed methods to dissect maternal–fetal genetic contributions and explores how population structure affects genotype–phenotype links.
Xin Tang, PhD
Staff Scientist & Program Manager | Xin.Tang@cchmc.org
Combines biomedical research expertise with managing GWAS projects on preterm birth, focusing on downstream pathways and collaborative opportunities.
