Dr. Wenbin Lin is the James Franck Professor of Chemistry, Radiation and Cellular Oncology, and the Ludwig Center for Metastasis Research. He is also a member of Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Chicago. Dr. Lin obtained his BS from the University of Science and Technology in Hefei, China and his PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He was a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellow with Professor Tobin J. Marks at Northwestern University. Dr. Lin’s research efforts focus on designing molecular materials for sustainability and human health and has published over 400 peer-reviewed articles.  In particular, the Lin lab pioneered the development of metal-organic framework (MOF) catalysts for many transformations and invented nanoscale MOFs for biomedical applications. Several of these innovative nanomaterials have entered clinical trials. He has been among the most cited chemists since 2014 and was selected as one of the top 10 chemists in the 1999-2009 decade based on per article citations.  Dr. Lin is the founder of two clinical stage biopharmaceutical companies and has received numerous professional honors for his contributions to functional molecular materials.
