Dr. Jie Zheng’s research combines chemical, computational, structural and systems biology with therapeutic development. In an effort to better understand the biological functions of different signaling pathways in the visual system and to explore the therapeutic potential of targeting abnormal signaling pathways, his laboratory focuses on structure-based drug discovery with an emphasis on developing proteins and small molecules that can systematically modulate signal transduction pathways. In addition, his laboratory is interested in structure-based drug repositioning.
