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 Developmental Biology at ​Weill Cornell Medical College. The lab focuses on understanding the fundamental mechanisms of innate tissue regeneration, with an emphasis on heart regeneration. We utilize a multidisciplinary approach that combines zebrafish models, human stem cells, cardiac organoids, explant tissue culture, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, chemical screening, live imaging, and genome editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9.
