The overall emphasis of Dr. Zhang’s research is to understand signaling mechanisms in regulation of blood vessel reactivity and homeostasis under normal states as well as in diseases such as coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension, and diabetes. The current research is focused on the vascular regulation by ion channels such as transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and K+ channels.

My current research is focused on understanding the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 channels to angiotensin II-induced impairment of vasodilation in animals and humans. I am also interested in the role of vascular smooth muscle potassium channels in hydrogen peroxide-induced vasodilation in human arterioles, in health and disease.
