Chun-Hung Hans Lin received his B.S. in Chemistry from the National Taiwan University and obtained his Ph.D. in Chemistry under the supervision of Professor Chi-Huey Wong at the Scripps Research Institute. He then carried out postdoctoral research with Professor Christopher Walsh at the Harvard Medical School. Afterwhich, he went home to Taiwan and accepted a position as Assistant Research Fellow at the Institute of Biological Chemistry, Academia Sinica, and rose through the ranks to Research Fellow. Currently, he is the Director of the Department of Academic Affairs and Instrument Service. He holds Adjunct Professor positions at the Institute of Biochemical Sciences and the Department of Chemistry, National Taiwan University, and at the Institute of Chemistry, University of the Philippines Los Baños.
Dr. Lin acquired several prestigious awards for his work, such as The Excellent Young Scientist Award, The Young Affiliate of TWAS (The Academy of Sciences for the Developing World), and the Outstanding Research Award of Ministry of Science and Technology. Research in his lab is focused on chemical biology that involves multi-disciplinary areas including glycobiology, enzymology, synthetic chemistry, and structural biology. Emphasis is stressed on (1) host/pathogen interplay in gut microbiota, and (2) development of enzyme inhibitors and molecular probes.
