Dr. Xiaomin Zhang is experienced in molecular biology, transgenesis, and the genetic aspects of disease and aging. Dr. Zhang’s main research interests include the transcriptional regulation of gene expression during aging and senescence, and the mechanism underlying age-related changes in the heart and skeletal muscle. He is also interested in using molecular biology approaches to generate mouse models that resemble certain aspects of aging, and use these models to enhance our understanding of the mechanism of aging and senescence.
