CHEN Xi is a professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of California-Davis. She received her B.S. in Chemistry from Xiamen University in 1994 and her Ph.D. in Biological/Organic Chemistry from Wayne State University in 2000. She worked at Neose Technologies, Inc. for two and a half years before joining the University of California-Davis as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry in August 2003. She was promoted to associate professor in July 2008 and full professor in July 2011. Her laboratory is exploring interdisciplinary research on glycoscience.
SUO Zucai is a professor in the Department of Biochemistry at The Ohio State University (OSU). He first received both his B.S. and M.S. degrees in physical chemistry from Fudan University and then obtained his Ph.D. in biological chemistry at the Pennsylvania State University in 1997. After being trained as a Jane Coffin Childs Memorial Fund Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard Medical School for two years, he joined Eli Lilly & Company as a senior biochemist in 2000 and helped the early development of two FDA-approved anti-viral drugs. In November 2001, he moved to OSU and became a faculty member. His research interests span from transient enzyme kinetics, protein NMR, X-ray crystallography, single molecule enzymology, and drug discovery.
HUANG Zhen obtained B.S. and M.S. from Sichuan University and Peking University, respectively. He obtained Ph.D. from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH, Zurich) in 1994, under the supervision of Prof. Steven Benner. Then, he joined Harvard Medical School as Research Fellow, under the supervision of Prof. Jack Szostak. He was hired by Brooklyn College in 1998 and promoted to Associate Professor. In 2004, he was recruited to Georgia State University and promoted to Full Professor. He is interested in structure-and-function study of Se-derivatized DNAs and RNAs, nucleic acid/protein crystallography, RNA microchip, nucleic acid-based cancer diagnosis and drug discovery.
PU Lin received his B.S. in chemistry from Sichuan University in 1984. He then obtained a Doering Fellowship (CGP) for graduate study in the United States and enrolled in the Department of Chemistry at the University of California San Diego in 1985. Under the supervision of Professor Joseph M. O'Connor, he obtained his Ph.D. in 1990. From January 1991 to November 1992, he studied in Professor Henry Taube's laboratory at Stanford University as a postdoctoral fellow. From November 1992 to August 1994, he joined Professor Robert H. Grubbs’ research group at California Institute of Technology to continue his postdoctoral training. In the fall of 1994, he was appointed as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at North Dakota State University. He moved to University of Virginia in 1997 as an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry and became a professor of chemistry in 2003. He was appointed as the Changjiang Chair Professor at Sichuan University by the Ministry of Education, China, in 2005. He is a member of the editorial board of Science China Chemistry. The research projects in his laboratory focus on the design and synthesis of novel chiral molecules and macromolecules for applications in areas such as enantioselective fluorescent sensors, asymmetric catalysis, and electrical and optical materials.
