🔬ZHANG PENG: A TRAILBLAZER IN FORENSIC SCIENCE AND OMICS RESEARCH

🎓EARLY ACADEMIC PURSUITS

Zhang Peng embarked on his academic journey in Forensic Medicine at Chongqing Medical University, where he completed both his Bachelor’s degree (2008–2013) and Doctoral studies (2013–2018). His undergraduate training encompassed a broad range of forensic disciplines, including Forensic Evidence Science, Toxicology, Pathology, Clinical Science, Psychiatry, and Anthropology. During his doctoral research, he demonstrated early promise by delving into toxicological mechanisms, specifically focusing on the hepatotoxic effects of acaricin toxins in rats using multidimensional omics technologies. His foundational training and focused doctoral work laid a solid platform for his future research directions.

👨‍🔬PROFESSIONAL ENDEAVORS

Following his doctoral graduation, Zhang Peng advanced into research leadership roles, successfully hosting and leading multiple national and provincial projects. These included prestigious grants such as the National Natural Science Foundation of China Youth Project, the China Postdoctoral Fund, and several programs supported by the Hainan Provincial Government. His research initiatives spanned fields like epilepsy-related brain metabolism, diffuse axonal injury, hyperthyroidism-induced heart metabolism, and forensic entomology. Currently affiliated with Hainan Medical College, he continues to lead projects that integrate proteomics, metabolomics, and other omics platforms to decode complex biological mechanisms with significant forensic and clinical implications.

🧪CONTRIBUTIONS AND RESEARCH FOCUS ON FORENSIC MEDICINE

Zhang Peng has cultivated a highly interdisciplinary research portfolio, with a central focus on biomarker discovery and mechanistic exploration of disease and injury using multi-omics integration. His work is particularly notable in the context of epileptic brain tissue metabolism, where he seeks to understand the metabolic underpinnings of sudden epilepsy death. Another significant branch of his research addresses diffuse axonal brain injuries—a key area in forensic pathology—through the development of biomarker screening methods. Additionally, his investigations into carnivorous flies and fly pupae have furthered forensic entomology, particularly in time-since-death estimations.

🌍IMPACT AND INFLUENCE

Zhang Peng’s influence extends beyond academic circles. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he gained national recognition for participating in the autopsy of the only confirmed COVID-19 death case outside Hubei Province. His contribution was honored with the title of "Advanced Individual in COVID-19 Prevention and Control Work" by the Hainan Provincial Department of Justice.
