About Dr. Zhang
I am a genitourinary pathologist with expertise in collaborating with clinical colleagues, translational and basic researchers. I have collaborated with MD Anderson investigators and assisted them by providing pathological support, sharing insight into their design of experiments, trouble shooting, result interpretation, interpreting clinical findings and correlating them with basic research results, and participated in manuscript writing and editing. My PhD training with a major in immunology enables me to have a thorough understanding of the basic and translational research aspects of Dr. Thomposon’s NIH R01 award grant entitled” targeting treatment-emergent, PD-L1-driven prostate cancer neuroendocrine lineage plasticity”. I have the background to serve as collaborator and support Dr. Patricia Troncoso in addressing the tissue needs and pathology expertise of the grant application.
