Fan Zhang is a Senior Professor at the University of North Texas Health Science Center. His research focuses on Alzheimer's disease biomarkers, cognitive impairment, and health disparities in aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Recent work includes precision medicine for Alzheimer's disease in Down syndrome, characterization of Ptau181 and neurofilament light in diverse community cohorts, and the Health and Aging Brain Study–Health Disparities (HABS-HD) methods. His publications examine immunometabolic biomarkers, depression, and COVID-19 impacts on diabetes management, contributing to geriatrics and public health.
