MECHANO-METABOLISM

AND

CANCER TECHNOLOGY

Welcome to the Zhang Lab - the Cell Biophysics Laboratory!

We are hiring!

See the Open Positions page for more details!

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)

DEI is a core value of the lab. We recognize the existence of barriers for certain groups when pursuing a scientific career, and overcoming these barriers is of critical importance for the excellence of all. We welcome students, research assistants, and postdoctoral fellows from diverse backgrounds to join the lab, especially those from historically under-represented minority groups in biomedical engineering and science.

What do we do? See the Research page for more.

MECHANO-METABOLISM

We study how the crosstalk between the physical tumor microenvironment and cellular bioenergetics influences cancer behaviors, including cell migration and proliferation and their impact on cancer metastasis.

CANCER TECHNOLOGY

We develop novel bioengineering and computational tools to understand invasive diseases (e.g. cancer) and developmental processes.

Who are we? See the People page.

ENGINEERING, MECHANICS, COMPUTATION, BIOMEDICINE

We are an interdisciplinary group. We use a combination of engineering, mechanics/physics, computation, and biological wet lab approaches to solve the most challenging biomedical problems.
