Research Field

Discovery of antiviral or antitumor drugs and research on their mechanism

Research Interests

Dr. Zhang’s research has been focused on establishing high throughput screening (HTS) models for identifying lead compounds which have anti-viral or anti-tumor activities. The main content include: 1) establishment of HTS models targeting proteins of virus or tumor in vitro; 2) identification of lead compounds which have anti-viral or anti-tumor activities via HTS; 3) research on the molecular mechanism of the lead compounds and structural modification.

Dr. Zhang has gotten research support such as National Natural Science Foundation of China, CAMS Fundamental Research Funds, and so on.
