Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Zijing Zhang's research focuses on understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying disease and aging. Zhang has investigated the role of metabolically active neutrophils in supporting Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and explored how β-glucan-induced macrophages confer protection against this bacterium. Their work also examines age-associated changes in ovarian myeloid cells, specifically macrophages and their signaling dynamics, using single-cell analysis techniques. Additionally, Zhang has studied the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on disease severity in mouse models of Down syndrome and analyzed the molecular characteristics and immune microenvironment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors to identify therapeutic targets. Zhang has 12 publications with 326 citations and an h-index of 7, and collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Lu Huang, Lin‐Xi Li, J. Tucker Andrews, and Ananya Ranaraja.
