Xiaomin Zhang

Xiaomin Zhang is an Associate Research Professor at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, affiliated with the Department of Geriatrics in the College of Medicine. Their research focuses on aging-related cardiac and mitochondrial dysfunction, transcription regulation via serum response factor (SRF), and neuroinflammation's role in aging.

Their work spans molecular biology, geriatrics, and proteomics, with publications on topics like Sirtuins, oxidative stress, and gene expression in aging hearts. Recent studies include P. gingivalis-LPS-induced neuroinflammation and dietary interventions for mitochondrial health in older adults.
