Laboratory Introduction
Zhang Lab is devoted to using the cutting-edge genomics and bioinformatics technologies to study critical issues of cancer biology, including revealing the genetic and immune factors underlying tumorigenesis, tumor microenvironment and drug resistance. The current main research directions include: 1) applying single cell sequencing technology to dissect tumor microenvironment, especially the accurate composition and functional status of tumor-infiltrating immune cells; 2) dissecting the heterogeneity of tumor and the impact on cancer biology and drug resistance; 3) developing innovative bioinformatics tools and resources to analyze, integrate, and visualize single-cell genomic data and large-scale cancer genomic data to reveal novel targets as well as the genomic mechanisms underlying tumor heterogeneity and immune response differences.
