RESEARCH SUMMARY
Dr. Zhang's current research focuses on mechanistic and translational aspects of general and site-specific cancer metastasis. Specifically, he is interested in the mechanisms by which cancer cells and their microenvironments collectively contribute to the development of brain metastasis of breast cancer, with the ultimate goal of identifying molecules as the "liquid biopsy" for early diagnosis, and the targets for new preventives and therapies.
