Biography

Zhixin Zhang is currently a professor from University of Nebraska Medical Center, USA. His education and training is done from Education and Training B.S., from Nankai University, Tianjin, P. R. China, (Molecular Biology), 1989, M.S., from  Nankai University, Tianjin, P. R. China, (Molecular Biology), 1992, Ph.D., from University of Alabama-Birmingham (Cell Biology), 1997, Post-doctoral training from University of Alabama at Birmingham (Immunology) 1997-2003

Research Interest

Molecular regulation of B lineage cell development, Molecular regulation of V(D)J recombination and antibody repertoire formation, Abnormal B cell functions in autoimmune diseases, such as SLE and RA, B cell anti-HIV response, Pathogenesis of B cell malignancies. The research work in Dr. Zhang's laboratory focuses on understanding the molecular regulation of B lineage cell development. B lineage cells are the major players in our immune system to make antibodies against infection agents. Using the new knowledge obtained from basic research works to investigate the pathogenesis of different immunological diseases is Dr. Zhang's long term research goal and daily practice.
