Originally from Montreal, Maggie completed her Ph.D. at McGill University studying synaptic plasticity underlying memory in the mollusk Aplysia californica. She pursued postdoctoral studies at Boston University with a focus on relapse prevention in addiction before joining the Rosenzweig lab in 2019 as a Scientific Writer. Maggie enjoys learning about lab members’ projects as she helps with manuscripts, grants and protocols. Outside the lab, she likes finding fun activities to do with her 2-year-old daughter.  

Jiaqi He is currently a postdoctoral research fellow working in the Rosenzweig lab at the University of Michigan. She studied in Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from September 2020 to June 2023 and earned her doctoral degree in medicine. Her graduate work focused primarily on autophagy regulating cardiac fibrosis in heart failure. Her current research projects in the lab focus on elucidating the mechanisms on physiological and pathological cardiac hypertrophy, as well as exploring the interactions between the heart and brain following heart failure. Outside of work, she enjoys swimming, watching movies, and traveling, with a deep appreciation for beautiful landscapes and wonderful experiences.

Kay is the lab administrator/manager for the Rosenzweig lab in the department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Michigan.  She joined the lab in 2022. Prior to joining the lab, she has been employed at the University of Michigan for 22 years with much of her tenure spent in the department of hematology/oncology. During that time, Kay’s research focused on leukemia and graft-versus-host disease allowing her to publish numerous first author papers on these topics. Kay received the Department of Internal Medicine Staff Award for Excellence in 2017.  Upon joining the Rosenzweig lab, she organized and implemented the startup and now focuses on daily operations. Outside of work she enjoys golfing with her two sons and traveling as well as being a lifelong competitive equestrian.

Dr. Anand Prakash Singh ia a distinguished Research Investigator in Medicine at the prestigious Rosenzweig lab within the Institute for Heart and Brain Health at the University of Michigan. With a deep passion for advancing our understanding of cardiac health, Dr. Singh has dedicated his career to exploring the intricacies of cardiac regeneration, cardio-oncology, and the remarkable cardiac benefits of exercise. Dr. Singh embarked on his journey with the Rosenzweig lab in 2021, where he has been at the forefront of groundbreaking research. His primary focus revolves around unraveling the mechanistic pathways for cardiac regeneration, using an innovative exercise mouse model as his canvas for discovery. Before joining the University of Michigan, Dr. Singh earned his Ph.D. from Jawaharlal Nehru University, India, specializing in cell junction biology. He then embarked on a series of illuminating postdoctoral adventures, conducting research at renowned institutions such as Vanderbilt University Medical Center, the University of Alabama, and Massachusetts General Hospital. During these transformative years, he delved deep into investigating the cardiotoxic mechanisms of anti-cancer therapeutics, contributing invaluable insights to the field. Dr. Singh's dedication and expertise have led to more than 22 research publications in highly esteemed journals, cementing his reputation as a leading authority in cardiac research. Beyond his lab endeavors, Dr. Singh enjoys a passion for cricket, loves spending time with his wife and two children, and finds solace in harmonious musical tunes. You can stay connected with his research and insights on Twitter, where he can be found at @AnandSinghPhD. 

Zixun Yuan has been a member of Rosenzweig's lab since September 2023. He pursued his studies at the University of Tsukuba, Japan, from 2019 to 2023, where he completed his Ph.D. degree. Following this, he relocated to the United States to undertake a postdoctoral fellowship. His research focuses on the progression of cardiomyopathies and underlying mechanisms, employing both wet lab and computational (dry lab) approaches.

Dr. Chao Wu is a committed postdoctoral fellow at the Rosenzweig Lab, and a clinical physician specializing in cardiology. Since joining the team in 2023, he has played a pivotal role in exploring the dynamics of heart and brain interaction, the functional mechanisms of exercise, and the regulation of coronary microcirculation. His work, deeply rooted in a profound background developed at Peking University (Ph.D.) and further nurtured at the Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute (during his clinical postdoctoral training in Cardiology), remains focused on meaningful and translational studies. This academic journey has been marked by the prestigious recognition of the China Postdoctoral Funding Award. Chao integrates his passion for research with a healthy lifestyle. Away from the lab, you'd probably catch him swinging a tennis racket, conquering mountain trails, or enjoying a good run – with the ultimate dream of weaving these energetic threads into his research fabric. He is on a mission to conduct studies that not only tickle the intellect but also resonate with real-world implications, adding a dash of excitement to the profound world of science.

Xuejing Yu is a research specialist in Dr. Rosenzweig’ s lab. Her major research interests include aging, exercise, noncoding RNAs, mitochondrial metabolism, and hydrogel application in heart failure, myocardial infarction, and cardiac ischemia reperfusion injury. She is currently responsible for all animal disease models in the lab, including myocardial infarction, cardiac ischemia reperfusion, transverse aortic constriction, aortic debanding model, femoral artery ligation, stroke, intracerebroventricular injection, etc. She obtained her MD from Sichuan University and PhD from Peking University, and participated in clinical work at Fuwai Hospital (Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences) for 1 year.  She finished her postdoc training at Harvard University and UT Southwestern Medical Center. She is passionate and extrovert who loves life and adventure, and is a big fan of camping, hiking, traveling, cooking, singing, biking, and chess.
