Yuwei Zhang, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow
Yuwei Zhang received her PhD from Columbia University in Dieter Egli’s lab focusing on β-cell failure in neonatal diabetes using CRISPR and patient-derived stem cells, along with third-gen sequencing to explore non-coding DNA associated with T1D. Now in Sneddon lab, her aim is to engineer more functional, transplant-ready islets by combining stem cell–derived β cells with other cell types. She is passionate about creative, cutting-edge biotech and anything that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in regenerative medicine.
