Research

Zhang's research has significantly contributed to the understanding of the epidemiology of GDM. She has conducted several large cohort studies investigating the risk factors and long-term consequences of GDM. Her work has shown that GDM is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in women later in life.

Zhang has also conducted research on the effects of lifestyle interventions on the prevention of GDM and its long-term consequences. Her work has shown that lifestyle interventions can reduce the risk of GDM and improve long-term health outcomes for women.
