Team:Tsinghua-E/Team

Dr. ZHNAG Chong received his B.Sc. and Ph.D. in chemical engineering at Depart-ment of Chemical Engineering, Tsinghua University in 2002 and 2008, respectively. In 2012, he was promoted as an Associate Professor at the Dept. of Chemical Engineering, Tsinghua University. His current research projects aim at synthetic biology in the field of biochemical engineering including:
(1) Basic principles and methods of synthetic biology for the construction of novel enzymes, microbial cell factories and microbial consortia with new functions for industrial applications;
(2) The application of synthetic biology in the bio-synthesis of chiral chemicals, novel cofactor regeneration systems, bioconversion of methanol to isoprene and bioconversion of low-grade biomass to hydrogen and methane.

Hi, I am weifan majored in biochemical engineering and it is my 3rd year in graduate study. We get our idea by brainstorming together and achieve our target together. As their instructor, I teach them the basic theory of molecular biology and guide them to finish the experiment. And now I am always deeply moved by their persistence and hard working. They have carried out experience overnight many times to accelerate progress and they well finish their division. Hoping for the great result in iGEM.
