China scholar Zhang recently at its seventh session, protein structure prediction technology assessment competition took the first place of good results. News of his post-doctoral mentor o clock when academician highly appraised. According to introduction, Ouyang clock-Chan from biological macromolecules gene sequence prediction of its structure, is the current biological research at one of the most important challenges, if we can achieve, in biotechnology and drug design areas have a significant impact.
2006 November 26 to 30 may, summary of the seventh General Assembly in CASP United States California Assad Elmer Conference Center, in the General Assembly announced the list of evaluation arrangement, Assistant United States University of Kansas professor Zhang ranked first.
To this end, the Academician o Jong-Chan saying: "CASP is known as protein structure prediction field of Olympic competition, Zhang won the first place, that he had been walking in the forefront of this field, this exciting achievements. ”
Protein structure prediction (CASP) technology assessment is a global contest of protein structure prediction technology assessment activities. In 1994, the first CASP in University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute's John · Morte (John Moult) initiative, the Organization held thereafter held once every two years.
Zhang in central China Normal University Professor and Mrs. Liu Lian tho for physics PhD, 1999 ~ 2000 years in the theoretical physics, CAs follow Ouyang clock academician postdoctoral, at the beginning of 2001 to the United States. Zhang said: "won our forecasting method is effective, I'm glad to see this. In today's protein structure prediction in this highly competitive field, won the victory in the competition is gain CASP peer respect and recognition of the most important and almost the only way. ”
Recently, Zhang to Beijing to attend the Conference and to the Institute of theoretical physics have access, during this period, he accepted the science times.
