Eva Ge

Eva Ge is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Klein College of Science, University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Her research explores the intersection of bioinorganic chemistry, chemical biology, and enzymology, focusing on modified proteins and their interactions with metal ions in disease contexts.

• Education: B.A. in Chemistry and Chemical Biology from Cornell University, Ph.D. in Chemistry from Princeton University, Postdoctoral training at UC Berkeley.

Her work investigates covalent protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) and their crosstalk with metal binding, particularly in relation to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. The Ge group integrates peptide chemistry, enzymology, and cell biology in their studies.

Recent research highlights include the development of RNA nanoparticles for targeted therapies in triple-negative breast cancer (2023), aligning with broader trends in nanotechnology and precision oncology. This work underscores her focus on chemical biology applications in human health.

The Ge group operates at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, utilizing interdisciplinary methods such as air-free biochemistry and cell-based assays to address fundamental questions in protein chemistry.
