Professor Li-Sheng Zhang earned his Ph.D. in 2019 from The University of Chicago in Professor Chuan He lab, with the award of HHMI International Student Research Fellowship. During Ph.D. training, Li-Sheng discovered ALKBH7-mediated reversible RNA methylation in mitochondrial polycistronic RNA and demonstrated mRNA internal N7-methylguanosines via base-resolution sequencing. Li-Sheng continued working as a postdoctoral scholar in Professor Chuan He’s lab upon the completion of his Ph.D., where he developed the quantitative base-resolution sequencing strategy to investigate diverse RNA modifications in mammals, including BID-seq for pseudouridine, Nm-Mut-seq for 2′-O-methylation (Nm), DAMM-seq for m1A/m3C/m1G/m22G, m7G-seq/m7G-quant-seq for internal m7G, etc. In 2023 April, Li-Sheng joined HKUST and started his independent research in chemical biology, epigenetics, RNA biology, immunology, cancer biology, computational biology, and bioinformatics, as Assistant Professor in Life Science and Assistant Professor in Chemistry.
