Estrogen Receptor and Breast Cancer: Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the Discovery of Er (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783319993492)

Dr. Xiaoting Zhang received his B.S. in Biochemistry and Microbiology from Zhejiang University and M.S. in Genetics from Institute of Genetics, Fudan University, China. He then moved to the United States and received his Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from the University of Iowa, followed by a postdoctoral study at the Rockefeller University. Dr. Zhang's laboratory focuses on understanding the molecular mechanism of estrogen receptor-mediated gene regulation in breast cancer metastasis and therapeutic resistance, and the development of RNA nanotechnology based therapeutics for their treatment. Dr. Zhang has received many awards and grants from major federal, national and local breast cancer funding agencies including NIH/NCI, DoD, American Cancer Society and Komen for the Cure Foundation. He also serves as a regularly invited grant reviewer for all these organizations, as well as international grant organizations such as Hong Kong Research Grant Council, the Marsden Fund of RoyalSociety of New Zealand and American Association for Cancer Research. He is a founding council member and chair of the nomination committee of the International Society of RNA Nanotechnology and Nanomedicine, and a member of the American Association for Cancer Research, American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and The Endocrine Society.
