Fostering a Supportive and Respectful Research Environment

At the Zhang Lab, we are committed to maintaining a collaborative and welcoming research environment where all individuals are treated with respect and professionalism. We believe that scientific progress is advanced by bringing together a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and ideas. We welcome participation from all who are interested in our research and are dedicated to upholding a culture of curiosity, integrity, and mutual respect. Our lab strives to:

Support student and trainee success through mentorship and opportunities for professional growth.
Encourage open and constructive scientific discussions and problem-solving.
Promote a research environment where every lab member is respected and empowered to contribute to the team’s success.

What do we do? See the Research page for more.

MECHANO-METABOLISM

We investigate how mechanical forces regulate cellular metabolism and influence disease progression. Our work focuses on understanding the crosstalk between the physical cell microenvironment and cellular bioenergetics, exploring its impact on cancer invasion, metastasis, and regenerative processes to advance precision mechanomedicine.

TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION

We develop advanced bioengineering and computational tools to study mechanobiology and metabolism at multiple scales. Our technologies enable precision diagnostics and targeted therapeutic strategies, enhancing disease modeling, uncovering new treatment targets, and accelerating discoveries in cancer and regenerative medicine.

Who are we? See the People page.

ENGINEERING, MECHANICS, COMPUTATION, BIOMEDICINE

We are an interdisciplinary group. We use a combination of engineering, mechanics/physics, computation, and biological wet lab approaches to solve the most challenging biomedical problems.
