ZHU LAB

We are recruiting talented and self-motivated graduate students, FYP, and UROPS students. Candidates with synthetic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, and molecular biology backgrounds are encouraged to apply... We design enzyme-like DNA catalyst by merging small-molecule catalysts (i.e., co-factor) with programmable DNA structures (i.e., chiral environment) for unsolved reactivity and selectivity problems in a more sustainable way... Welcome to the Zhu Lab at NUS We crack the code of nature-designed biomolecules with state-of-the-art chemistry for next-generation therapeutics and catalysis to improve human health and life quality Next-Generation RNA Therapeutics We develop efficient synthetic methods to make novel RNA mimetics with improved stability, translation efficiency, and reduced immunogenicity for therapeutic applications including miRNA,.
