Dr. Zhang was a barefoot doctor in China from 1969 to 1973. He served as a preventive doctor in a Schistosomiasis Control Program from 1975 to 1978. Following a Medical Degree in Preventive Medicine from Shanghai Medical University in 1983, he studied cancer epidemiology under Professor Shun-Zhang Yu in the graduate program of Shanghai Medical University from 1983-1987. Thereafter, he did post-doctoral training at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), World Health Organization, Lyon, France from 1987-1988, under supervision of Dr. Max Parkin. Several years later, Dr. Zhang graduated with a Ph.D. degree in cancer epidemiology, from State University of New York at Buffalo in 1991, where he worked with Dr. Saxon Graham, followed by positions as an Assistant and Associate Member of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and as an Assistant Professor at Cornell Medical College from 1991 to 1997. Finally, he accepted a position as an Associate Professor of Epidemiology at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1997, and advanced to Full Professor of Epidemiology in 1999.
He serves as the Director of Molecular Epidemiology and Carcinogenesis Program of the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, Co-Director of the UCLA Center for Environment Genomics, Director of Molecular Epidemiology Training Program, and Scientific Director of UCLA Central Tumor Registry. Dr. Zhang had been a Fellow of the American College of Epidemiology (ACE) since 1999 and he serves as Member of the Board of Directors of the American College of Epidemiology from 2002 to 2005.
