Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShijun Deng is a postdoctoral researcher based in Boston with a decade of experience probing the molecular underpinnings of chronic metabolic diseases, specializing in hepatic cholesterol metabolism. At Harvard since 2020, he combines mechanistic lipid biology with translational perspectives aimed at atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. His PhD from the University of Alberta focused on cholesterol metabolism and atherosclerosis, building deep expertise in pathways that link liver biology to systemic metabolic risk. Trained in biological sciences at Queen’s University Belfast, he brings a strong experimental foundation and rigorous analytical approach to complex metabolic questions. Colleagues describe him as methodical and hypothesis-driven, with a knack for connecting cellular lipid handling to clinically relevant outcomes. He is particularly interested in how subtle alterations in hepatic cholesterol flux can drive disease progression and therapeutic opportunities.
