Speaker 1 DingPeng (Peng) Zhang, Ph.D. Current position Research fellow,  Beth Isreal Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School Biography Peng received his Ph.D. in Chemical Biology from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, where he developed methodology using peptide ligases to make antibody drug conjugate. He joined Dr. Xin Zhou’s lab in 2022 and Dr. Wenyi Wei’s lab in 2024. As a chemical biologist, Peng is interested in a broad range of technical and biological questions, including developing methods for targeting protein degradation and stabilization, characterizing the pharmacological kinetics, efficacy, and understanding the basic mechanism of action of the engineered compounds.
