About me
- Hi, I am very glad to meet you here!
- My name is Zhening Zhang. I am a senior student of China Pharmaceutical University (CPU) and University of Strathclyde (UoS) Joint-Degree Program. My program in CPU is Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy and my major in UoS is Biochemistry and Pharmacology (Honours).
- Currently, I am doing my graduation project supervised by Prof. Luke Chamberlain about SPRED-1 and SPRED-3 as tumor suppressors in different cancer types: a comprehensive genomic analysis regarding tumorigenesis and prognosis.
- I have systematically studied professional courses in Biomedicine as well as Pharmacology and maintained top 1 in my major since the freshman year, with a GPA of 3.84/4.00.
- I was awarded the President Scholarship (12 students awarded in CPU each year), the First-class Scholarship, and the First Prize Scholarship of world exploration for CPU, and elected as the Triple-A Student for Jiangsu Province (10 students awarded in CPU each year).
- By actively engaging in lab researches and thesis projects, I have also mastered a series of lab techniques (IHC, ELISA, Flowcytometry, Western-blot, Cell and animal based experiment, Protein production, etc), familiarized with statistics software (Graphpad, Origin, Real Statistics) and illustration (Photoshop, Biorender, Image J), and strengthened skill in literature review.
- I decided to devote myself to medical research since my eight years old. Driven by great internal motivation and self-discipline, I am capable of learning independently. After multiple research experience in China and UK, I think I am a considerate and open-minded person who is good at working as part of a team and dealing with diverse people.
- My research interest is revealing the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying the development and metastasis of solid tumors (e.g., breast cancer), and developing possible cancer therapies accordingly.
