Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Xuming Zhang's research investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying viral infections and related diseases. His work has explored the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2, including its interaction with host cells and the efficacy of antiviral agents. Zhang has also examined co-infections with other viruses, such as Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus, and their impact on cellular gene expression. His publications address topics including gene expression profiling in the context of leukemia progression and the role of specific cellular components like eosinophils in disease response. Zhang has also contributed to understanding the clinical features and biological markers associated with conditions like postmenopausal osteoporosis and knee osteoarthritis.
