[Georgia State University] – [Chemistry] - Jin Research Group - Synthetic Biology/Coacervates/Enzyme Kinetics/Contrast Agents – PhD/Post-doc Recruitment - Fall 2024

[Recruitment Plan]
Join Dr. Zhicheng Jin’s team at Georgia State University’s Chemistry Department (GSU-CHEM)! Hi there, we’re looking for 1 postdoctoral researcher, 2 doctoral students, and 2 master's students to dive into groundbreaking research. Our focus? Delving into enzyme kinetics using innovative peptides and nanomaterials, with applications as contrast agents in bioimaging. Check out our current projects:
 
(1) Crafting biosensors with a range of materials like peptides, coacervates, and nanomaterials, while exploring how interfacial enzyme kinetics play into the mix.
(2) Developing enzyme-responsive contrast agents for bioimaging applications, particularly in assessing immunotherapy efficacy.
 
Our research website is in the works, but for more insights, please scope out Dr. Jin’s Google Scholar profile:

[Intro to Research Group and Supervisor]
Dr. Jin’s team will come soon at Georgia State Fall 2024! He earned his bachelor's in chemistry from Lanzhou University in 2015 and was an exchange student at Texas Tech University. Following that, he pursued a Ph.D. at Florida State University under Professors Hedi Mattoussi and Qing-Xiang Amy Sang, exploring ligand synthesis and quantum dot fluorescence probes. From 2020 to 2024, he collaborated at University of California San Diego with Professor Jesse V. Jokerst on viral protease detection and drug delivery using peptide coacervates. Meanwhile, he received pain model training at Havard Medical School. Dr. Jin has 16 first-author publications in journals like Chem. Soc. Rev., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem., ACS Nano, Anal. Chem., and holds 1 patent (co-authored total 70 papers). He is excited to receive the Young Researcher Award from SPIE.
