Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ying Zhong's research focuses on understanding disease mechanisms and developing diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Her work has explored the use of metagenomic next-generation sequencing for diagnosing bloodstream infections and the construction of multifunctional hydrogels for wound healing. Zhong has also investigated the molecular underpinnings of developmental disorders through multi-omic profiling and examined the role of METTL3 in cell cycle regulation via m⁰A/YTHDF1-dependent pathways.

Her research extends to population health and epidemiology, with studies on the global burden of gout in young populations, the impact of maternal obesity on infant gut microbiome, and the long-term effects of PM2.5 exposure on type 2 diabetes and arthritis. Zhong also studies the associations between maternal diet, body composition, and gut microbial ecology during pregnancy. She leads a research group and has a significant publication record, with 135 total publications and an h-index of 25, accumulating over 2,144 citations.
