The Texas Chemical Biology Conference is organized as an event to bring together the community of researchers and scholars in chemical biology across Texas to foster a dynamic environment for the exchange of innovative research ideas, methodologies and emerging trends in the fields.
2024 Winner - Prof. Xin Yan
The winner of the 2024 SynthX Texas Chemical Biology Young Investigator Award was Prof. Xin Yan, Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University. Prof. Yan won the Honoring Outstanding Achievement in Reactive Microdroplet Mass Spectrometry for In-Depth Lipidomics.
Prof. Yan earned her Ph.D. in Chemistry from Purdue University with Prof. Graham Cooks and performed postdoctoral research with Prof. Richard Zare at Stanford University. She joined Texas A&M University as an Assistant Professor in 2018.
The Yan Lab combines expertise in mass spectrometry, microdroplet chemistry, electrochemistry, and biology to develop novel approaches for disease diagnosis, structural lipidomics, and accelerated electrochemical reactions.
