Xuemei Zhong, PhD
Assistant Professor, Medicine
Biography
Dr. Xuemei Zhong is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine. She received her bachelor’s in English and Biochemistry from the East China University of Science and Technology. Following that, she received a master’s in molecular biology from the University of Massachusetts. She then pursued her PhD in Immunology/Pathology at Boston University School of Medicine. She discovered a new B-lymphocyte population termed L2pB1 cells as an instructor, and has been studying this population of cells since then. Her areas of expertise include immunology, B-cell immunology, autoimmunity, immunohistochemistry technology, inflammatory diseases and immuno-oncology research.
