Dr. Yiyun Chen is a Professor at Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, a member of the State Key Laboratory of Chemical Biology of China, a joint Professor at School of Physical Science and Technology, ShanghaiTech University, and a joint Professor at School of Chemistry and Material Sciences, Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study, UCAS. Chen performed undergraduate research on total synthesis under Professor Zhen Yang’s guidance at Peking University and graduated with honors in 2002 with a bachelor's degree in chemistry. After a brief stint in Professor Joseph Z. Tsien’s group on neuroscience research, Chen earned his Ph.D. in organic chemistry in 2007 in the group of Professor Chulbom Lee at Princeton University, where he developed general methods for geminal functionalization of alkynes under transition metal catalysis. As a postdoctoral associate at Professor David R. Liu’s group at Harvard University and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Chen focused on the development of biologically inspired methods and strategies. Using a DNA-encoded reaction-discovery system, he discovered a new biocompatible visible-light-induced azide reduction reaction. In fall 2011, Chen joined Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry as a Principal Investigator, with the research interest in biocompatible photochemistry, including organic photochemistry and photochemical biology.
