Min Zhang

Min Zhang serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Guest Researcher in the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology within the Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology division at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Science. Based at Universitetsparken 5 and 2 in Copenhagen Ø, Zhang maintains an active research profile with 14 publications between 2023-2025.

Research focuses on protein aggregation dynamics and advanced drug delivery systems, utilizing super-resolution microscopy and machine learning approaches. Key areas include insulin aggregation modulation, metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocarriers, and real-time observation of protein assembly pathways. Recent work develops computational tools like SEMORE for morphological fingerprinting of protein assemblies.

Publication trends show strong interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly with N.S. Hatzakis' group, spanning biophysics, nanomedicine, and pharmaceutical sciences. Work has attracted significant attention with coverage by 12+ news outlets and 26+ X (Twitter) mentions.

Zhang's scientific contributions include:

• Development of single-particle tracking methodologies for intracellular drug delivery
• Novel insights into insulin aggregation modulation by osmolytes
• Machine learning frameworks for super-resolution data analysis
• Defect-engineered MOF platforms for cancer therapeutics

Active collaborations span molecular pharmacology, biophysics, and nanotechnology research groups. Current work focuses on real-time monitoring of protein aggregation pathways and advanced nanocarrier systems for pharmacotherapy.
