Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolXiao-ru Chen is a structural biologist and postdoctoral research scientist with nine years of hands-on experience dissecting protein–substrate, protein–drug, and protein–membrane interactions using 19F and 2D solution NMR, X-ray crystallography, and complementary biophysical techniques. She has led projects from experimental design through structural analysis and manuscript writing, notably elucidating lipid transfer mechanisms of fungal PITPs and mapping small-molecule inhibitor binding with combined NMR and crystal structures. A collaborative scientist, she has mentored graduate students and worked closely with cell biologists and mass‑spectrometry experts, bridging structural insight with cellular context. Her background spans optogenetic assays in neural stem cells to probing regulatory interactions like Pin1–PKC, reflecting a versatile toolkit that pairs rigorous biophysics with practical protein biochemistry.
