Jian Yue, PhD

Dr. Yue earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Science and Technology of China in December, 2020, and also worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Southern University of Science and Technology. Dr. Yue utilizes various techniques, such as X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), and biochemical methods, to investigate the structure-function relationship of proteins involved in critical physiological processes in bacterial, yeast, and human cells.

In May 2023, Dr. Jian joined the Liu laboratory at Yale School of Medicine and the Microbial Sciences Institute to further develop his expertise in cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and correlative approaches. He investigates bacterial type IV secretion system (T4SS), utilizing high-throughput cryo-ET techniques to visualize and determine high-resolution 3D structures in their native context.
