Jason Pun

Jason Pun is a Research Fellow in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry at Monash University, specializing in neuropharmacological research with a focus on inflammatory mechanisms in the central nervous system. His work bridges drug discovery and neuroimmunology through molecular target validation and inhibitor development.

His research centers on Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 4 (FABP4) as a therapeutic target for neuroinflammatory conditions, particularly investigating how novel inhibitors modulate microglial activation. This work integrates medicinal chemistry approaches with cellular neuroscience to develop treatments for neurodegenerative diseases where neuroinflammation plays a critical role. His methodology emphasizes in vitro pharmacological validation and molecular mechanism elucidation.

Recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on translating chemical biology discoveries into neuroimmune applications, with peer-reviewed work appearing in specialized journals like the Journal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology. His research trajectory shows increasing emphasis on microglia-targeted therapeutics and CNS-penetrant compound design.
