Ran Zhang
PhD student
I got
my bachelor degree from
Inner Mongolia Agriculture
University, and master
degree of science from
University of South
Florida. Now I'm a PhD
student in Dr. Yu's lab.
My work centers on the
functions of single
peptide in protein
expression, localization
and secretion. In my
spare time, I like to play
games and make desserts.

Hello,
I am a PhD student
studying the mechanisms of
surface proteins
localization and cell wall
biosynthesis in S. aureus.
I joined Dr. Yu's lab in
Fall 2023. Previously, I
studied MSc in
Biotechnology at the
University of Edinburgh
and worked on developing
synthetic biology toolkits
for cardiovascular disease
diagnosis and treatment at
the University of South
Dakota. Outside the lab, I
enjoy playing soccer,
table tennis, playing pool
and spending time with my
family and kids.
