Bin Zhang

Bin Zhang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research focuses on understanding genome function through the development of theoretical and computational approaches to model genome structure and dynamics. The Zhang Lab aims to build a global framework connecting genome sequence with structure and activity, enabling predictive modeling of genome organization. His work explores information-theoretic studies of genome structure, multiscale modeling of chromatin fibers, and the coupling of genome dynamics with gene regulation. Zhang's research seeks to uncover the principles governing genome organization and its role in cellular processes.

Bin Zhang is an associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, specializing in genome folding, machine learning, and biomolecular condensates. His research focuses on understanding the structural and functional organization of chromosomes, leveraging computational models and machine learning to predict three-dimensional genome architecture. Zhang's work explores how chromatin topology influences cellular processes such as stem cell differentiation and cancer progression. He also investigates the physical principles governing biomolecular condensates, including their structural organization and energy landscapes. His publications highlight the role of force fields, free energy landscapes, and multiscale modeling in elucidating the dynamics of chromatin and protein systems.
