Personal Data:
Dr. Bingsheng Zhou, studied his Bachelor and Master's degree at Wuhan University, China and doctorate at City University of Hong Kong, HK SAR, China. He took up his post-doctoral training at the Department of Biology, McMaster University, Canada, then he returned to Hong Kong as a Research Fellow and worked in the Center for Marin Environmental Research and Innovation Technology, City University of Hong Kong. He jointed the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in December 2004.

Dr. Zhou's main research interests primary focus on environmental toxicology at all levels from the molecular to the ecological. Specific research examines persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and endocrine disrupted chemicals, in particularly studies in the molecular mechanisms of toxicant-exposed model animals, cell lines and primary cultured cells, and effects of POPs on reproduction, growth, development, genetic toxicity, and developing biomarkers for early warning for the aquatic environments.
