Biography

Mingtao Zeng is an Associate Professor at the Center of Excellence in Infectious Diseases, Paul L. Foster School of Medicine, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, USA. He received his B.S. from Sichuan University, M.S. from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Tel Aviv University, and had postdoctoral training in Molecular and Cell Biology at University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Zeng has spent the last decade to develop new generation vaccines against respiratory pathogens such as influenza viruses and Streptococcus pneumoniae as well as agents important for biodefense such as Bacillus anthracis and botulinum neurotoxins. He is also studying the effect of current vaccination programs on the epidemiological changes of respiratory pathogens (strain replacement and antigenic variation) and how people respond to infections or vaccinations at cellular and molecular levels (T cell,   B cell, and gene expression levels). Dr. Zeng has served as members in numerous grant reviewing committees for National Institute of Health (NIH) and Department of Defense (DOD) in the field of microbial vaccine research. He has reviewed manuscripts for many journals such as Nature Methods, Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vaccine, etc.
