معرفی
John Yin is a Professor in the Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with affiliations in the College of Engineering and the Biomedical Engineering Department. His research bridges virology, systems biology, and chemical engineering to understand virus-host interactions.
- PhD (1988), University of California-Berkeley
- BS (1983), BA (1982), Columbia University
Research focuses on systems biology of virus-host interactions and systems chemistry of molecular replicators. His work integrates computational models with experimental methods to analyze viral growth, infection spread, and prebiotic molecular systems.
Recent publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches across virology, computational biology, and prebiotic chemistry, with subfields including infection dynamics, reaction network modeling, and origin-of-life pathways.
