Lecturer: Prof. Xiang Zhang
RESEARCH INTEREST:
Prof. Xiang Zhang is interested in molecular systems biology, by exploiting practical and efficient high-throughput technologies for analyses of complex mixtures to facilitate the development of preventive, predictive and personalized medicine for the promotion of health and wellness. Currently, my research centers on developing high-throughput chromatography mass spectrometry-based bioanalytical platforms for proteomics and metabolomics, including two-dimensional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC×LC–MS) and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC×GC–MS). Using the high information content data generated from these bioanalytical platforms, we further develop advanced bioinformatics algorithms and data analysis platforms to uncover the biological information from the massive instrument data. The developed bioanalytical and bioinformatics platforms are then integrated and employed to discover molecular biomarkers and to understand the mechanisms of molecular regulation changes in a biological system.
