Jie Zheng obtained a PhD degree in genetic epidemiology from the University of Bristol in 2015. In 2018, Jie received the Vice-Chancellor fellowship and in 2021 the Springboard Award from the Academy of Medical Science. In January 2022, he officially joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine as a professor. Jie has a multi-disciplinary background in statistical genetics, epidemiology, and bioinformatics, with experience in building up platforms such as MR-Base and LD Hub, applying causal inference method Mendelian randomization, and conducting multi-ancestry omics analysis. So far, Jie has published a total of 121 papers, with over 10,000 citations (h-index=34, i-10-index=63). In addition, Jie was supported by 2 fellowships and 4 research grants in the UK. With the support of these research funds, he led a multi-disciplinary team in the UK until 2021. After returning to China, he received four fellowships and a major grant to establish a research team in Shanghai.
