Her major research interests include computational modeling of complex biological processes, such as the identification of vaccine targets, the development of a framework for rapid development of next-generation biological databases, the building of analytical tools for pattern recognition from biomedical data, and the design of diagnostic tools. She has authored more than thirty journal publications, developed more than twenty online computational systems, and filed two patents as co-inventor. Through the development of advanced computational solutions, she contributes to the rapid progress of basic and applied biology and bio-medicine. Zhang served as a research associate at Harvard Medical School, senior bioinformatics engineer at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and project leader and senior research engineer at the Institute for
