Biography

     Zhang Jia received a B.S. in Biological Sciences from Shandong Normal University in 2010. She received a M.S. and a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2015. In 2017, she finished the Post-doctoral in Single Cell Center of Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of science. During the Post-doctoral, she studied at University of Houston, USA as a visiting scholar. She has published sever papers on peer-reviewed journals such as Metabolic Engineering, Bioresource Technology and 3 patents.
