Dr Zien Zhou
I am an NSW Cardiovascular Elite Postdoctoral Researcher. I obtained my MD degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (China) in 2011 and my PhD degree from UNSW Sydney in 2022 (UNSW Scientia Scholarship awardee). Before joining The George Institute, affiliated with the UNSW Sydney, I worked as a radiologist in China for eight years. My research focuses on brain imaging analysis in stroke, brain-heart interaction, cerebral small vessel disease, and optimal antithrombotic treatment for cardioembolic stroke prevention. I am now leading a project funded by NSW Health to explore the value of brain images in atrial fibrillation management.
