Biosketch and Research Interests
Jinming earned his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Oregon State University in 2019 under the direction of Professor Rich G. Carter. His research focused on the total synthesis of mandelalide A, madeirolide A and their related macrolide analogs.
Jinming joined the Lindsley lab as a postdoctoral research fellow in August 2019. He is currently working on the synthesis of negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) for the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M5.
Jinming’s research interests include medicinal chemistry, organic synthesis and drug discovery.
