Engineering Human Immune Organoids for Translational Immunology
I develop immune organoid and organ-on-chip platforms to decode B-cell and T-cell responses in health and disease, with applications in vaccine and therapeutic response prediction.
I am Zhe Monica Zhong, a PhD researcher in bioengineering and mechanical engineering focused on human immune organoids, biomaterials, and translational immunology. My work bridges engineered human tissue platforms with clinically relevant immune response prediction.
Organ-on-Chip Models
Integrated tissue models for coordinated local and systemic immune crosstalk.
Immune Organoid Engineering
Synthetic and human-derived systems for studying adaptive immune function.
Biomaterials and Microenvironments
Hydrogel and photopatterned tissue platforms for controlled immune signaling.
Translational Research
Preclinical human-model systems for diagnostics and therapeutic decision support.
I completed my PhD at Georgia Tech, where I worked in the Singh Lab on immune tissue engineering and translational immunoengineering. My research integrates biomaterials, cell engineering, and high-dimensional immune profiling to advance predictive human immune models.
