Chuangye YAN

Chuangye Yan is a Faculty member in the School of Life Sciences at Tsinghua University. Yan holds a Ph.D. and has been affiliated with the university since 2015, initially as a Postdoctoral Fellow and later as an Assistant Professor, advancing to Associate Professor. His research focuses on methods development in X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy, as well as the structure and function of membrane proteins, spliceosomes, and pre-mRNA splicing mechanisms. Yan has contributed to several high-impact publications, including studies on the human and yeast spliceosome structures. His work has been published in journals such as Cell Research, Science, and Nature.

Chuangye Yan is a Professor at Tsinghua University specializing in structural biology. His research focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of various biological processes through high-resolution structural analysis. Yan's work includes determining the crystal structures of key proteins such as the human glucose transporter GLUT1, TAL effectors, γ-secretase, and the voltage-gated sodium channel NaChBac. His studies provide insights into DNA recognition, ion channel function, and signaling pathways, contributing to understanding diseases related to these processes. Yan's research also explores the structural basis of ligand recognition, transport mechanisms, and the regulation of cellular signaling pathways.
