Dr. Yufeng Wei received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Columbia University in the City of New York, and did his postdoc at the University of Michigan. He is also an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Seton Hall University. His lab is focusing on structural biology of proteins and nucleic acids using NMR spectroscopy. He is also working on developing and implementing new NMR technologies on structural determination of biomolecules. He has extensive experience and knowledge in both solution and solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
