Research Summary
Professor ZHANG’s main research directions are the innovative functional materials and targeted nanosystems for drug delivery. She’s reasearch focused on the synthesis of nanocarrier materials, including the biodegradable, biocompatible and easily synthetic oligopeptide lipids and novel biomaterials, and advanced constructed techniques for drug delivery nanosystems, such as charge conversion, collaborative assembly and cells for drug loading. Based on the mechanisms of drug action and the physiological and pathological conditions in vivo, she developed new targeted drug delivery nanosystems to improve the druggability, effectiveness and safety of drugs, which provided theoretical and practical foundations for their clinical application.
