Research Overview
The Zhang Lab studies cardiac diseases linked to loss of endothelial cell identity.
Major research directions:
- Single cell techniques to track cell lineage specification and cell identity transition in HLHS disease
- Investigate cell identity regulation in HLHS disease to facilitate development of therapeutic strategy
- Investigate the role of endothelial cell dysfunction in heart failure
Research Background
Dr. Zhang received postdoctoral training in cardiovascular epigenetics with a focus on endothelial cell identity regulation at The Methodist Hospital Research Institute and Weill Cornell Medical School, where she became an Assistant Professor.
