معرفی
Yujia Qing is an Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Oxford, affiliated with Lady Margaret Hall. Her research explores single-molecule chemistry, particularly polymer behavior under nanopore confinement, and engineering protein nanoreactors for vectorial catalysis.
- BSc in Chemistry, University of Sheffield (2012)
- MSc in Pharmacology, University of Oxford (2014)
- DPhil in Chemical Biology, University of Oxford (completed under Prof. Hagan Bayley)
Her work leverages engineered protein nanopores as nanoreactors to monitor bond-making and breaking events in real time, enabling innovations like mobile molecules for biopolymer movement and sequence analysis. This bridges single-molecule chemistry, nanopore technology, and synthetic biology.
Recent publications highlight advancements in bioorthogonal chemistry, post-translational modification detection, and nanopore-based sensing. Key themes include real-time reaction monitoring, directional molecular control, and enzyme-free analytical methods.
Scientific Awards:
- Reaxys PhD Prize (2019)
- Dream Chemistry Award (2019)
- Glasstone Research Fellowship in Science (2020)
She has held postdoctoral and fellowship roles at the University of Oxford, contributing to chemical biology and nanopore applications.
