In this role, Dr. Zhang is responsible for managing and leading routine aspects of ACM Shanghai and all staff in the department. Dr. Zhang’s roles and responsibilities include ensuring the department meets internal and external Quality Assurance and Control standards, overseeing the correct and safe use of all laboratory equipment, and monitoring financial information in conjunction with the Director of Operations, Singapore and Shanghai, Chiew Yan Lee, PhD.

Dr. Zhang received her MD degrees in Clinical Medicine and Clinical Pathology, as well her PhD in Clinical Pathology, from Second Military Medical University, Shanghai.
