Biography
Dr. ZHANG Zhihua is a principal investigator at Beijing Institute of Genomics (BIG), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He is an editorial board member of journal Genomics, Proteomics ＆ Bioinformatics since 2012. In 2006, he received his Ph.D. degree from Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences; 2006-2011, Postdoctoral programs at University of Michigan, The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and the University of Texas at Dallas, where he devoted most of his time to studies of computational system biology; In 2011, he joined BIG as a PI for evolutionary and computational systems biology and was selectively supported by the CAS “100-talent Program”. He has undertaken many projects from 863, 973, General Program of National Nature Science Foundation of China (NSFC) etc. ZHANG’s lab combines the methods of computational systems biology with the cutting-edge experimental technologies to study the structure and function of 3D genome
