About
De Chen is a leading figure in chemical biology, with a primary research focus on the synthesis and functional analysis of RNA. His most celebrated contribution is the development of "position-selective labelling and mosaic composition" of RNAs, a groundbreaking methodology that allows for the precise introduction of chemical modifications at specific sites within RNA molecules. This work, detailed in his highly cited 2015 paper (126 citations), has provided an indispensable toolkit for probing RNA structure, function, and dynamics with unprecedented resolution. By enabling researchers to create RNAs with defined patterns of natural and artificial modifications, Chen's approach has significantly advanced our understanding of RNA processing, catalysis, and cellular regulation. His innovative techniques have broad implications for the study of ribozymes, RNA-based therapeutics, and the epitranscriptome. Through this seminal contribution, De Chen has established himself as a key innovator in the field, empowering a generation of scientists to explore the chemical complexity of RNA.
