Fa-Jie Chen    Associate Professor   
Introduction ： Fa-Jie Chen received his B.S. degree in 2011 from Fuzhou University (China.). He completed his Ph.D. in 2016 in chemistry with Prof. Bing-Feng Shi and Prof. Jun Wu from Zhejiang University (China). His research focused on transition metal-catalyzed carbon-hydrogen bond functionalization using a removable directing group. After postdoctoral training at Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter (with Prof. Weiping Su) and University of Illinois at Chicago (with Prof. Daesung Lee), he joined the group of Prof. Jianmin Gao in 2020 as a postdoctoral fellow and works on cysteine-specific peptide and protein modifications. He is currently an associate professor at the College of Chemistry, Fuzhou University. His research interest is the development of new synthetic methods aimed at the cyclization or chemo- and site-specific modification of native peptides, and the development of peptide-based drugs for peptide therapeutics.
