Hello, wellcome to my website. I'm Fan Hong (CV).  Currently, I'm a postdoctoral fellow at Wyss Institute/Harvard University and the Department of System Biology at Harvard Medical School in the molecular system lab with  Dr. Peng Yin.  I was a graduate student  in the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University, and fortunate to work in the Yan Lab, Green Lab and Sulc Lab with Dr Hao Yan,  Dr. Alexander Green, and Dr. Petr Sulc.​  My research is in a highly interdisciplinary area, but focusing on the molecular folding and design/programming across different scales. 

Molecular systems are the cornerstones to understand life, engineer novel materials, and develop cutting-edge technologies to advance human health.  I'm interested in the molecular design/programming and their implementation in biomedical areas such as synthetic biology and spatial biology,  more specifically in three directions: (1) Understand the molecular folding and function with experimental and computational approaches (e.g., neural networks and molecular dynamics) (NAR 2020); (2) Design novel molecular folding, dynamics, and self-assembly principles (JACS 2018, Angewandte Chemie 2017); (3) Develop molecular tools to visualize and regulate complex biological systems, particular examples include: (a) programming cell fates with de-novo designed biomolecules (Cell 2020) and (b) decoding cell and  tissue function at molecular basis with advanced molecular tools . 
​I believe integrating the molecular programmability with biology will lead to lots of transformative research in the near future in many sub areas. ​
