Tianquan Jin, PhD

Biography

Tianquan joined the Brodie Lab after working with fellow faculty member Dr. Jianxun Li for several years. 

Together with collaborator Dr. Xiubei Liao, he became very involved in studying the three-dimensional NMR structure of amelogenins. 

His work related to the unusual compaction of amelogenin nanospheres with high proline content and their impact on enamel crystal growth during vertebrate evolution earned him a first authorship on a PLoS Biology paper (Jin et al. 2009). 

Today, Dr. Jin is a Vice President at Biocytogen, LLC, in Worcester, MA.
