Portrait Han Sun

Prof. Dr.

Han Sun

Han Sun studied chemistry in Nankai University in China and the University of Göttingen in Germany. She received her PhD from the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in 2013, where she subsequently worked as a postdoctoral fellow in two different research groups. Since 2017, she has been at the Leibniz Research Institute for Molecular Pharmacology, initially as a project leader, and since 2020 as the head of the Structural Chemistry and Computational Biophysics research unit. Additionally, since 2022, she has held the position of W2 professor at the Technical University of Berlin.
