Department:
Chemistry
Campus:
IU Bloomington
Chemistry, A512
800 E. Kirkwood Ave.
Bloomington, IN 47405-7102

Research interests:

Dr. Zhang's research focus is on developing peptide-based therapeutic agents for treatment of endocrine diseases, such as diabetes and obesity. Recent projects include chemical synthesis of virual insulin-like peptides, design and synthesis of cross-linked insulin analogs, and discovery of an insulin prodrug with new activation strategy.
