May 8, 2005
The Center for Bioinformatics is announcing the recruitment of Dr. Yang Zhang as its new faculty member. Dr. Zhang is a world-class expert in large-scale high-throughput protein modeling and structural aspects of protein interactions. His recruitment is an important step in the Center’s effort to build up its strength in this strategic research area. Dr. Zhang joins the Center in August, as assistant professor, with a joint appointment in the Department of Molecular Biosciences.
Dr. Zhang received his PhD in Physics at the Central China Normal University in 1996. He spent two years as the Alexander von Humboldt research fellow at Free University of Berlin, Germany. After a subsequent postdoctoral research in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he joined the group of Jeffrey Skolnick at the Danforth Center. His most recent appointment has been on the faculty of the Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics at the University of Buffalo.
