Jian Zhu, PhD Jian completed his PhD at the University of Zurich, where he applied techniques including crystallography and molecular dynamics to develop selective bromodomain inhibitors. Prior to his PhD, Jian led an industrial team using crystallography to investigate targets including PDE. He is currently using an integrative approach to investigate the structure and function of protein complexes that underlie long-term potentiation. |
