Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Wen Zhang's research program investigates the application of advanced materials and sensing technologies for environmental and health-related challenges. Current work includes the development of piezocatalytic membranes for the degradation of pharmaceutical pollutants, such as oxytetracycline, and the creation of enzyme-regulated fluorescence probes for the determination of organophosphorus pesticides. Zhang also explores the use of aptamer-based electrochemical sensors for the sensitive detection of heavy metal contaminants like cadmium in food sources.

Zhang has a broad publication record that includes work on cancer treatment, specifically focusing on systemic therapies for non-small-cell lung cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. This includes participation in phase 3 clinical trials for novel therapeutic agents. Additional research interests encompass the physical properties of food products, such as the freezing characteristics of rice flour gels, and a review of the ethnobotany and pharmacology of the plant *Xanthoceras sorbifolium*.

With an h-index of 34 and over 3,700 citations across more than 200 publications, Zhang is recognized as a highly cited researcher. Zhang leads a research group at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and collaborates with other researchers at the institution, including Diksha Shrestha, Mary C. Savin, Yong Wang, and Sam Mortenson.
