HI, I AM
Shiqi ZhangA curious researcher, a creative instructor and a trustworthy mentor
I joined the Biology Department at the East Stroudsburg University as an Assistant Professor in 2022. Here, I mainly teach Intro Bio I Lab, Intro Bio II lecture and lab, Plant Response to Environmental Stresses, and Plant Physiology. My research focuses on exploring cellular ion dynamics, primarily using quantitative imaging of ion-specific biosensors. These engineered proteins, when expressed in plants, convert intracellular ion levels into changes in fluorescence intensities measurable via a confocal microscope. At ESU, my research program will provide students with a holistic exploration, allowing them to not just understand the mechanisms ('how') of cellular processes but also their underlying significance ('why'). |
