The long-term goal of Dr. Bing Zhang's research is to develop computational and statistical approaches that help translate multidimensional omics data into biological and clinical insights. Recent works focus on the following three areas: 1) Proteogenomics; 2) Precision Oncology; and 3) Bioinformatics tool development.

• Encodes, tests, debugs, and installs the operating programs and procedures in coordination with users.
• Prepares charts and diagrams to assist in problem analysis.
• Submits recommendations for solutions. 
• Participates in weekly lab meetings (every lab member presents their data/project for constructive criticism and feedback).
• Designs and creates software programs, integrating systems and software, training end-users, analyzing algorithms, and modifying source-code.
• Conducts data analysis of cancer cohorts at the pan-cancer level.
• Creates workflow diagrams and charts to demonstrate the functionality of programs before coding them.
• Writes and continually updates documentation for all programs for internal and external reference.
• Tests programs for errors and fixes faulty lines of computer code.
• Formulates and defines project scope and objectives through research and fact-finding to develop or modify moderately complex information systems handling biological data.
• May develop and modify computer programs.
• Works with graduate students and postdoctoral researchers on small projects.
• May provide technical guidance and work direction to lower-level bioinformatics and information systems personnel.
