Dr. Zhang's research focuses on the role of BRCA1 in breast cancer development and the function of transcription elongation in cardiac physiology
Dr. Wang studies the molecular and cellular mechanisms, especially those related to renal sodium transport, involved in salt-sensitive hypertension and aldosterone escape. She also studies the role of mitochondrial function in renal epithelial cells following anoxic injury.
Dr. Wang's research interest is to study the anesthetic and analgesic modulation of central cardio-respiratory autonomic regulation and the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which anesthetics produce their effects in the brainstem.
