Chi Zhang's research develops and applies advanced optical microscopy and imaging methods, especially label-free chemical imaging techniques like coherent/stimulated Raman scattering microscopy, to study cellular and tissue biology. Applications span metabolic profiling of lipids and mitochondria, drug and antisense oligonucleotide delivery, vacuolar membrane trafficking, and disease-related processes in the brain, liver, and microbes. The work combines biophysical imaging tool development with questions in cell biology, pharmacology, and neuroscience.
