Meng Zhang

This researcher's work centers on mapping cell types in the brain using spatial transcriptomics (methods that reveal which genes are active in individual cells while preserving their physical location in tissue), including large-scale brain cell atlases in mice and comparisons between human and mouse brain organization. The work also spans computational method development for analyzing spatial gene-expression data, structural studies of DNA and chromatin (the packaged form of DNA in cells), and occasional projects on bacterial genetics and protein engineering. Publications appear in a mix of high-profile journals and preprint servers, suggesting collaborative, multi-disciplinary projects.

Publication output grew from a low baseline around 2017 to a peak of about 8 papers in 2022, followed by fluctuation with a dip in 2024 and a rebound in 2025, indicating an overall increasing but variable pace of output over the past decade.
