Zheng Research Lab

New paper alert ‼️🔊🧠 Zheng lab’s first PNAS paper is now live! In this study, we used SV2A PET imaging and detected significant synaptic losses in a mouse model of Multiple Sclerosis and patients with Multiple Sclerosis. Read more here: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Researchers have developed a faster, first-of-its-kind way to make radioactive tracers for PET scans, allowing scientists to study #brain disorders in ways that weren’t possible before. Read the paper in Nature Communications: nature.com/articles/s4146…

A new school year brings forth some new lab members 👀 We welcome Cynthia, our new research practicum student, and Victor and Erica, our new chemistry graduate students! 🙌🧪 Wishing for another year of succsss for the Zheng lab!

After a true marathon journey, one of our manuscripts has finally been published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine (JNM), the flagship journal of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging！jnm.snmjournals.org/content/jnumed…

I had the joy of bringing two first-year UofToronto graduate students from my lab @C_ZhengLab to attend the SNMMI 2025. Hannah won First Place in the SNMMI RPSC YIA competition, and Justin received both the SNMMI BIC Travel Award and the Third Place Poster Award.

Great presentation from Dr. Zheng at the Society of Chinese Bioscientists in America (SCBA) and Chinese Biological Investigators Society (CBIS) Toronto Chapter 2025 Scientific Symposium yesterday. The team came out for support too!

Dr. Zheng takes on McGill with a talk on SV2A and ROCK2 PET imaging at the Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar! 🧠🐁 Stay in tune for future talks about the work from the Zheng lab 👀 #Neuroscience #PETImaging #MCGill #uoft

Day 1 of Neuro2024! 🧠✔️ Great work from Justin and Hannah in presenting their work these past two months with their poster!

Officially joined the Twitter/X community! Thrilled to share our first group photo of the Zheng Lab @ CAMH! Heres to many more discoveries and memories together 🎉
