个人简介
Yan Jie is currently a professor at Department of Physics at National University of Singapore, where he first joined as a faculty member in 2005. He is also a principal investigator at NUS Mechanobiology Institute and NUS Centre for BioImaging Sciences. While being trained in theoretical physics, he has since built a strong interest in studying molecular and cell biology using a combination of novel single-molecule biophysical methods and theoretical modeling. In 2015, Yan Jie was awarded American Physical Society (APS) Fellowship. And in 2016, he received the Singapore National Research Foundation (NRF) Investigatorship as well as the Human Frontier Science Program’s Research Grants.
