Education

edit

Zhang was educated at Peking University and Stony Brook University where she was awarded a PhD in 1995 on X-ray microscopy[5][6] supervised by Janos Kirz and David Sayre.[1]

Research and career

edit

After a postdoctoral research position at Harvard University with Don Wiley she moved to the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in 1997.[1] She was appointed a lecturer at Imperial College London in 2001, a Reader in 2005 and a Professor in 2008.[1]

Zhang's research investigates structural biology, transcription, DNA repair and AAA proteins, particularly ATPases.[2][7][8][9]

Awards and honours
