Xin Zhang 49th Lorne Conference on Protein Structure and Function 2024

Xin Zhang

Dr. Xin Zhang obtained her PhD in 2021 from Monash University, Australia, where she worked with Prof. Patrick Sexton and Prof. Denise Wootten in the structural biology of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor. Following graduation, she was recruited as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the same laboratory at Monash University aligned to the ARC Centre for Cryo-EM of Membrane Proteins, and recently being awarded ARC DECRA fellowship (2023-2026). Her background is in cell biology, biochemistry, structural biology (in particular cryo-EM), molecular biology and pharmacology, and have applied these to provide molecular insights into proteins that are critical for human health and novel drug discovery. Her particular interest is to understand the dynamic process of how diverse ligands bind to and activate GPCRs that are involved in many physiological processes and diseases.
