Dr. Chen Nan

General Manager of Nanjing ChomiX Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

Chen Nan graduated from the School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering of Zhengzhou University in 2013, received a PhD in chemical biology from Peking University in 2019, and subsequently engaged in postdoctoral work at Rockefeller University in the United States. Since March 2021, he has co-founded and served as the General Manager of ChomiX.

Dr. Chen Nan has long been committed to using chemical proteomics technology to solve important biological problems, such as the identification of protein post-translational modification sites and the identification of small molecule drug targets in living cells. And he has made some achievements in chemical probe design and synthesis, protein chemical labeling and covalent inhibitor design. He has cooperated with Bayer, Dewpointx and other companies and was responsible for the identification and research of drug molecular targets. So far, more than 10 papers have been published in authoritative international academic journals such as Angew, Chem, Int, Ed, Engl, Chem, and Sci.
