Summary
👤
SeniorChengxin Zhang is a bioinformatics researcher and algorithm developer with a decade of experience modeling protein and RNA structure, function, and interactions, currently based in Ann Arbor as a Graduate Student Research Assistant at the University of Michigan. His work blends computational prediction and sequence-derived engineering—ranging from structure alignment and interaction prediction to designing thermally stabilized enzymes validated by wet-lab mutagenesis and purification. Trained across Fudan, Queensland, and National Tsing Hua universities, he pairs deep molecular biology experience with PhD-level algorithm design in protein/RNA modeling. Notably, his background includes hands-on cloning and stability engineering of adenylate kinase, giving him rare expertise spanning both code and bench validation.
