Balachandar. Later in her graduate years she became\u00a0increasingly interested in fundamental biological mysteries, in particular, she was fascinated by the great potential that insights and methodologies from mechanics could be merged to the study of biological systems with unique advantages.\u00a0She then joined Prof. Ido Golding&#8217;s lab as a postdoctoral associate focusing on the research in Biophysics\/Systems Biology. There, she\u00a0learned the\u00a0experimental arsenal of modern molecular and cell biology. During the later year of her postdoctoral training, she also spent time in the groups of Prof. Taekjip Ha and Prof. Nigel Goldenfeld, where she learned single molecule fluorescence microscopy and ecology modeling. In 2012, she joined the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics and Center for Phage Technology at Texas A&amp;M University. She continues the line of research where she uses single-cell and single-molecule assays combined with mathematical modeling to study cellular decision-making process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/college.agrilife.org\/zenglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/138\/2021\/03\/zhang-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-150\" width=\"287\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/college.agrilife.org\/zenglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/138\/2021\/03\/zhang-4.png 731w, https:\/\/college.agrilife.org\/zenglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/138\/2021\/03\/zhang-4-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/college.agrilife.org\/zenglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/138\/2021\/03\/zhang-4-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 287px) 100vw, 287px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-left has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-heading\" style=\"background-color:#3c0000\">Kailun Zhang<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Kailun Zhang<br>Graduate Student, 2016 &#8211;<br><a href=\"mailto:kailun92@tamu.edu\">kailun92@tamu.edu<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\">Kailun received her B.S. in Biotechnology from Nankai University, China in 2015, and joined the Texas A&amp;M Biochemistry and Biophysics graduate program the same year.

Furthermore, by comparing P1 and lambda, which has been intensively studied in the Zeng lab, she aims to answer the questions about how the different regulatory networks contribute to the different cell-fate decision pattern, and how stochasticity plays a role in the decision-making process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/college.agrilife.org\/zenglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/138\/2021\/03\/Laith.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-155\" width=\"264\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/college.agrilife.org\/zenglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/138\/2021\/03\/Laith.png 837w, https:\/\/college.agrilife.org\/zenglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/138\/2021\/03\/Laith-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/college.agrilife.org\/zenglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/138\/2021\/03\/Laith-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/college.agrilife.org\/zenglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/138\/2021\/03\/Laith-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 264px) 100vw, 264px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-left has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-heading\" style=\"background-color:#3c0000\"><strong>Laith Harb<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Laith Harb<br>Graduate Student, 01\/2017 &#8211;<br><a href=\"mailto:harbla@tamu.edu\">harbla@tamu.edu<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\">Howdy!

I&#8217;m particularly interested in how bacteriophages can be used as tools to study biological phenomena.\u00a0In addition to their antimicrobial potency, bacteriophages can be genetically engineered, providing new methods for research that are both powerful and diverse. I want to further explore their potential in biological research and expand our current understanding in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/college.agrilife.org\/zenglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/138\/2021\/03\/zihao.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-157\" width=\"269\" height=\"269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/college.agrilife.org\/zenglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/138\/2021\/03\/zihao.png 1010w, https:\/\/college.agrilife.org\/zenglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/138\/2021\/03\/zihao-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/college.agrilife.org\/zenglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/138\/2021\/03\/zihao-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/college.agrilife.org\/zenglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/138\/2021\/03\/zihao-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 269px) 100vw, 269px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-left has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-heading\" style=\"background-color:#3c0000\"><strong><strong>Zihao Yu<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Zihao Yu<br>Graduate Student, 12\/2018 &#8211;<br><a href=\"mailto:zihao.yu@tamu.edu\">zihao.yu@tamu.edu<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\">I received my B.S. in Biological Sciences at Chongqing University.

For my personal life, I am an enthusiast for landscape and natural photography. I am amazed by the dedicate structure of fern leaves and also the marvelous hue performed by sunrise and sunset.
