XU, Yunjie - Department of Chemistry, University of Alberta
Yunjie Xu, Canada Research Chair in Chirality and Chirality Recognition, brings a rigorous physical sciences approach to decoding chiral phenomena. She advances the field by identifying important questions and finding answers by pushing methodical frontiers with the design and development of novel spectroscopic tools. Her profound contributions to uncovering stereospecific interactions underlying chirality recognition events, central to the biochemistry of life, have made her a world leader in chirality research.
