Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Junjun Tan. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Junjun Tan is an Assistant Professor at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in systems chemistry and supramolecular chemistry. He began his career in polysaccharide chemistry and earned his PhD in Chemistry from the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2010. His unexpected transition into systems chemistry has fueled his curiosity about the emergence of life from ensembles of interacting molecules. His research focuses on the fundamental chemical principles that govern molecular organization and the metabolic processes of living systems. Tan's approach combines organic chemistry with supramolecular chemistry to develop tools that can help address basic questions about the origin of life and the regulation of chemical reactions. After a career break, he returned to academia in 2020 and has since held various research positions, including a significant role as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions fellow at Aalborg University. His work aims to create intelligent materials through an innovative understanding of the mechanisms that underpin life.
