Zeyuan Zhang

Postdoctoral Scholar, Hematology-Oncology

BioZeyuan Zhang, Ph.D., is a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University in the laboratory of Glaivy Batusli, where he is conducting research on the evolution of antibody development against the coagulation protein factor IX in hemophilia B disease models. He earned his Ph.D. in Biomedical Science from the University of Iowa, focusing on cell and developmental biology.

Dr. Zhang’s research centers on the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic disease, with particular emphasis on organelle dysfunction in obesity. His work has provided insights into GSNOR enzymatic activity, lysosomal dysfunction, and inflammatory stress in metabolic regulation. He has also investigated transcriptional mechanisms contributing to obesity-associated hepatic dysfunction and adipose tissue homeostasis. Prior to joining Stanford, he worked as a Scientist I at Altos Labs, where he studied hepatocyte-specific rejuvenation reprogramming in fatty liver disease.

His technical expertise includes multi-omics approaches, RNA sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation, high-resolution respirometry, advanced imaging techniques, and in vivo mouse models. He also has extensive experience in primary cell isolation and histological analysis.

Dr. Zhang is interested in translational research that connects molecular mechanisms to therapeutic strategies, with the goal of developing innovative treatments for metabolic diseases.
