Scholar-generated biography
Yong Zi Tan is a researcher at the National University of Singapore and A*STAR, specializing in Structural Biology, Cryo-EM, Membrane Proteins, and Methods Development. His work focuses on advancing cryo-EM techniques to study complex biological systems, including membrane proteins and GPCR signaling complexes. He has contributed to improving cryo-EM data collection, processing, and storage, as well as elucidating the structural mechanisms of disease-related proteins such as the plasmodium falciparum transporter Pfcrt and the human calcium-sensing receptor. His research also explores the role of multivalency in antibody neutralization and the structural basis of drug resistance.
