Currently
Professor Zhang works on the molecular mechanisms governing synaptic signal transduction, the dynamic regulation of synaptic complex assemblies, and the trafficking of proteins involved in synaptic signalling. He uses a combination of NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology approaches. The second focus of his work is elucidate the molecular basis of protein complexes regulating cell polarity establishment and maintenance.
