Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Zijing Zhang's research investigates the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying various disease states, with a particular focus on immune responses and cellular signaling. Zhang has published work examining the role of neutrophils as a niche for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the protective mechanisms conferred by monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages against this bacterium. Further research includes single-cell analysis of ovarian myeloid cells to identify age-associated changes in macrophages and signaling dynamics. Zhang also studies the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on disease severity in mouse models of Down syndrome and explores the molecular characteristics and immune microenvironment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors as potential therapeutic targets. Zhang's work has resulted in 12 publications with 299 citations and an h-index of 6. Key collaborators include Lu Huang, Lin-Xi Li, J. Tucker Andrews, and Ananya Ranaraja, all from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
