Biography

    Dr. Lei Zhao is a researcher at the Key Laboratory of Mental Health, Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on the genetic and neural mechanisms underlying chronic pain and its effects on brain aging and cognitive function. Utilizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and genetic techniques, Dr. Zhao has contributed significantly to understanding how chronic pain can influence the aging process of the brain and related cognitive functions.

    As a first author, his work has been published in prominent journals such as Nature Mental Health, Trends in Cognitive Science, and The Journal of Headache and Pain. Dr. Zhao has special interests in biological aging, genetics, and the clinical applications of neuroimaging, multi-omics, and machine learning. His research aims to bridge the gap between fundamental science and clinical practice, with the goal of improving diagnostics and therapeutic strategies for conditions associated with chronic pain and brain aging.
