Research summary
AI-generated

This profile appears to combine records from multiple distinct researchers sharing the name Junran Zhang, spanning cancer biology, DNA repair, materials science, civil engineering, and even finance topics, which makes it difficult to characterize a single coherent research program. The cancer-related work, likely the core focus, centers on DNA damage repair, PARP inhibitor resistance, and molecular mechanisms of tumor growth and stemness in cancers such as lung, glioma, ovarian, and prostate cancer. Prospective students should verify which specific publications and topics belong to the PI they intend to work with, given the mixed subject matter in this record.

Publication output was low and steady (2-6 per year) from 2017-2022, then spiked dramatically to over 100 in 2023 before declining to more typical levels in 2024-2026, a pattern that may reflect merged records from multiple individuals rather than a single researcher's activity.
