Dr. Zhong’s research interest is focused on the mechanisms and targeted therapy of infection-related inflammation, autoimmunity, and tumorigenesis and metastasis. His group has characterized several key proteins involved in ubiquitination and deubiquitination-mediated temporal and spatial regulatory mechanisms of antiviral immune signaling and inflammation. In addition, he has demonstrated that these key molecules and mechanisms are involved in autoimmunity and tumorigenesis and that targeting these molecules effectively inhibits the progression of autoimmune diseases and cancers. These findings not only advance the understanding of inflammation and tumorigenesis, but also provide potential therapeutic strategies for the related diseases.

Diseases caused by infectious pathogens, particularly with multi-drug resistant properties, have become a major threat to public health around the world, thus new antibiotics with novel structures and mode of actions are urgently needed. Natural products have been a valuable source of therapeutics particularly in the areas of infectious disease. However, discovering novel natural products has become significantly more difficult.
1) Microbial energy metabolism and biosynthesis. Energy metabolism is a fundamental process for all living organisms. Previous studies revealed a novel mechanism of oxygenic photosynthesis driven by far-red light in cyanobacteria, which is of great significance for enhancing energy utilization and biomass production. Current research interests include microbial energy harvesting and conversion, and construction of microbial systems to synthesize important bioactive molecules.
