杨科武教授简介

BIOGRAPHY：

Professor Yang received his PhD in chemistry in 1994 from Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, working under the supervision of Prof. Yuanqi Yin. He spent the following two years as apostdoctoral fellow and then joined the faculty at Fudan University as an associate professor in 1996.

He pursued National Institutes of Health's research projects at Miami University working in the lab of professor Michael Crowder from 1998 to 2004, and followed serviced Girindus America Inc. at the Medicinal Chemistry Department as a senior scientist to mastermind the research and development projects from Procter and Gamble and Aventis Pharmaceuticals.

Dr. Yang joined the faculty at Northwest University as a professor and leading investigator in chemical biology in 2007. He is amember of SIGMA XI, The Scientific Research Society.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

The interests of our Chemical Biology Lab focus on important biomedical targets. We are interested in using the tools of protein chemistry, organic synthesis, molecular biology and biophysics to develop clinically-useful compounds for the diagnoses and treatment of the biomedical targets including antibiotic resistant bacteria.

We are particularly interested in taking amultidisciplinary approach to develop a Protein Chip technology for high throughput screening of the antibiotic resistant bacteria. Researchers in the group work at the interface of chemistry, biology, medicine and pharmaceuticals. We are currently engaging the following projects.
