Dr. Zhang has been engaged in the basic and clinical research of sepsis related myocardial dysfunction (SRMD) for more than 10 years and has been received two grants (No.81471889 and No.81772110) from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and several research projects (general and key projects) from Zhejiang Province. The research team of Dr. Zhang was committed to the discovery of biomarkers and intervention targets for the diagnosis and prognosis of SRMD, and to explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms and mitochondrial mechanisms for protection of SRMD.
