Prof. Zhang has experience in developing statistical methods and machine learning algorithms for data with missing values, high dimensions, measurement errors, and complex association structures. His methods are applied in processing bulk and single-cell RNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics and metabolomics to discover new insights into Alzheimer’s Disease, COVID-19, and cancer.
