Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Qingyang Zhang's research investigates molecular mechanisms underlying various biological processes, with a focus on epitranscriptomics, metabolism, and disease pathology. Zhang has explored the role of RNA modifications, such as N6-methyladenosine (m6A), in regulating innate immune responses and has identified specific proteins, like SRSF2, that interact with these modifications to influence cancer development. Their work also delves into metabolic factors, examining the predictive value of scores like METS-IR for mortality and investigating the effects of dietary interventions on metabolic health in animal models.

Further research by Zhang includes studies on the cellular and molecular underpinnings of conditions such as vaginal prolapse and age-related cognitive decline, highlighting the involvement of RNA splicing and nuclear speckle proteins. Collaborations with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Jeffrey A. Lewis, Stephanie E. Hood, Tara Stuecker, and Cader J. Locke, have resulted in shared publications. Zhang is also a Co-Principal Investigator on an NSF grant focused on Host-Virus Evolutionary Dynamics.
