Jimin Wang

Jimin Wang is a Research Scientist in the Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale University, affiliated with the Yale School of Medicine. He holds a BS from Peking University (1982) and a PhD from UC San Diego (1988). His research focuses on structural biology, biophysics, and photosynthesis mechanisms, particularly the oxygen-evolving complex of Photosystem II. He has published over 150 peer-reviewed papers, collaborating with experts like Victor Batista and Gary Brudvig. His work includes developing methods for analyzing experimental charge density maps and molecular dynamics trajectories.

Research interests span Photosystem II structural dynamics, chlorophyll coordination, and CRISPR-Cas9 mechanisms. Recent studies include insights into SARS-CoV-2 inhibition via remdesivir and structural analyses of viral spike proteins. He has contributed to computational tools for cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography data interpretation.
