Research Areas

Prof. Zhang’s researches are focused on the discovery, biosynthesis, and structural diversification of marine microbial natural drugs. More than 150 novel marine microbial natural products were discovered, isolated and structurally elucidated; biosynthetic gene clusters for more than 15 microbial natural products were cloned and characterized. The biological functions for > 40 microbial biosynthetic enzymes were demonstrated, such as novel oxidative/reductive cyclase, halogenase, glycosyltransferases and kinases. He has published more than 70 original papers, including Science, Nat Biotechnol, Nat Chem Biol, Nat Commun, Mol Cell, J Am Chem Soc, Angew Chem Int Ed, Chem Sci, Org Lett, etc. He has received numerous awards for his research.

1. Isolation and Structural Characterization of Microbial Natural Products from Special Marine Ecosystems.

We isolate and characterize actinobacterial strains from special marine ecosystem, and the strains are screened for bioactive natural products with antibacterial, antitumor, antiviral and insecticidal activities. The bioactive compounds are subsequently isolated, purified and structurally elucidated.

2. Combinatorial Biosynthesis of Complex Natural Products.

Taking antibacterial, antiviral and antitumor natural products as target molecules, we clone the intact biosynthesis gene clusters, elucidate the biosynthetic pathways and generate novel “unnatural” natural products with improved activities by combinatorial biosynthesis.

3. Elucidation of Novel Enzymatic Mechanisms and the Utilization thereof.

We are interested in characterizing the unique and novel enzymatic reactions and mechanisms embedded in the biosynthesis of complex microbial natural products, and exploit such enzymes (e.g., glycosyltransferase, methyltransferases, halogenases and oxidoreductases) for structure diversification of natural products.
