Welcome to CHEN, Gang Research Group at NTU

Chemistry Tel: +65 6592
2549 Office: SPMS-CBC-05-16 Lab: SPMS-CBC-05-40 Dr. CHEN, Gang
received his B.S. degree in Chemistry at the University of Science and
Technology of China (USTC)
in 2001. He did his Ph.D. studies with Prof. Douglas TURNER in
the Department of Chemistry at the University of Rochester. His Ph.D. work
involved thermodynamic and NMR studies of RNA internal loops. A better
understanding of the sequence dependence of thermodynamics for RNA structures
will improve the accuracy of the RNA secondary structure prediction programs
such as MFOLD
and RNAstructure. He earned his Ph.D. in 2005. He was a postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Ignacio TINOCO¡¯s
lab in the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley
from January 2006 to June 2009. His research in Tinoco lab was on
single-molecule mechanical unfolding and folding of RNA pseudoknots by laser optical tweezers, which
provided new insights into ribosomal reading-frame regulation by cis-acting mRNA
structures. He was a Research Associate in Prof. David
MILLAR's lab in the Department of Molecular
Biology at The Scripps Research Institute working on HIV-1 Rev-RRE assembly
using single-molecule
fluorescence techniques. In July 2010, he joined the
faculty in the Division of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry at Nanyang
Technological University in Singapore. Multiple positions (graduate
students, postdoctoral fellows, and research
assistants) are available in Dr. CHEN's group. Our old lab website: http://sites.google.com/site/rnachen2/ |
