Welcome to Cao Lab at Weill Cornell Medical College

The Cao Lab is part of the Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI) and the Department of Cell and Developmantal Biology at ​Weill Cornell Medical College. Using zebrafish as a model, we aim at dissecting how natural heart regeneration is regulated at the cellular and molecular level, and how the generalizable findings can be applied in other regenerative contexts.The lab uses a combination of zebrafish model, explant tissue culture, high-throughput sequencing, chemical screening, live imaging, and genome editing approaches (such as CRISPR/Cas9).
