Research summary

Xiangzhong Zheng studies the biology of circadian rhythms (the body's internal daily clock) and sleep, largely using the fruit fly Drosophila as a model organism to understand how genes control behavior, metabolism, and neurological function. Recent work also extends into blood biology, examining the ADAMTS13 protein and its role in blood clotting and patient outcomes. The research connects molecular genetics to behavioral and disease-related processes.
