Dr Jenny Zhang

Jenny is fascinated by the redox chemistry occurring at the interface of materials and living systems. She obtained her PhD at the University of Sydney, Australia, where she synthesized redox-active anticancer metal complexes and studied their distribution and metabolism within tumour models. She then joined the University of Cambridge in 2013 as a Marie Curie Fellow, where she studied the photo-electrochemistry of the photosynthetic enzyme, photosystem II, adsorbed onto electrodes. She now holds a BBSRC David Phillips Fellowship at the Department of Chemistry, where her research group probes deep into the photo-electrochemistry of photosynthesis in vivo.
