Email: linsj@sjtu.edu.cn

Dr. Shuangjun Lin received his Ph.D degree in organic chemistry at the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2002. He had postdoctoral research experience at University of Alberta in Canada and University of Wisconsin-Madison from 2002 to 2008, respectively. He was appointed a professor in Shanghai Jiao Tong University since the end of 2008. His current research is focused on the discovery of bioactive natural products from microbes and natural product biosynthesis.
