معرفی
Dr. DUO ZHANG is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Clinical and Administrative Pharmacy at the University of Georgia's College of Pharmacy. Her research focuses on pulmonary disease mechanisms, biomarker discovery, and extracellular vesicle biology. She investigates inflammation-driven pathologies in acute lung injury, COPD, and diabetes-related complications. Key areas include TIMP-1 and CC16 as sex-specific biomarkers, miRNA roles in lung inflammation, and therapeutic applications of extracellular vesicles.
Her work integrates clinical and experimental models to explore oxidative stress effects on macrophages, viral infection outcomes, and systemic inflammation pathways. Dr. Zhang's studies often leverage large clinical trial datasets (e.g., FACTT) to identify prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for respiratory diseases.
Publications span 2023–2025, emphasizing biomarker validation, miRNA regulation in disease, and drug efficacy analyses. She has contributed to understanding diabetes' impact on vascular barriers and the role of extracellular vesicles in intercellular communication during lung injury.
