Excited State Dynamics in DNA and RNA (Jinquan Chen)

Focusses on the excited triplet states within DNA and RNA with combined experimental and computational approaches.

Jinquan Chen, received his Ph.D. in physical chemistry at the Ohio State University in 2012. After postdoc experiences at Montana State University and Emory University, he joined East China Normal University in 2015, where he is now full professor. His main research interests involve the development of state of art femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy techniques (such as femtosecond circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence spectroscopy) for the study of excited state dynamics of biomolecules. In the recent years, he focused in particular on the study of the photophysics and photochemistry of epigenetic nucleic acids and their triplet excited state dynamics. He has published over 130 journal articles. He is currently the Early Career Researcher Editorial Board member of Chinese Journal of Chemical Physics and vice president of the Shanghai Biophysics Society.
