Laboratory Introduction
Dr. Fan is an Investigator at Chinese Institute for Molecular and Cellular Therapeutics, CIMR. He earned his B.S. from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and his Ph.D. from the University of Groningen. He conducted his postdoctoral and research scientist work at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Prior to joining CIMR, he served as a Senior Principal Investigator at the Bioinformatics Institute, A*STAR, Singapore.
The Fan Lab drives innovation in Molecular Therapeutics through a "Dual-Engine" approach:
· Physics-Based Refinement: Utilizing high-precision computational chemistry and drug design (e.g., Free Energy Perturbation/FEP, Molecular Dynamics) to provide physical grounding and accurate validation.
