His research focuses on cancer risk factors, particularly the interplay between genetic predispositions and environmental influences. Key studies include investigations into gastric cancer in Chinese populations, examining gene-environment interactions, genetic polymorphisms (e.g., GSTP1), and the role of Helicobacter pylori infection. His work often employs case-control studies and population-based analyses to identify modifiable risk factors and genetic markers.

The scientific trends in his publications emphasize environmental health, genetic epidemiology, and cancer prevention, with a geographic focus on China. His methodological approaches include biostatistical modeling and epidemiological risk assessment.

As a core faculty member at UCLA, he contributes to research leadership, student mentorship, and public health initiatives. Contact details include a phone number (310.825.8418) and an email address (zfzhang@ucla.edu).
