  • Environmental Chemical-Protein Interaction Network

     Developing novel techniques at the interface between chemistry and biology to map the physical interaction network between 100,000 environmental chemicals and 20,000 human proteins. 

Our group is interested in the development of bioanalytical methods to identify chemical contaminants and their toxicity mechanisms. Particularly, we aim to dissect the physical interactions between chemical contaminants and proteins, on the global level. Our group research involves environmental chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry and toxicology.
If you are interested in joining our group, please contact Prof. Peng at hui.peng@utoronto.ca.

Announcements

March 2024-Our Nature Communications paper is online now

In this study led by Jiabao (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-46559-3), we used our affinity selection mass spectrometry approach to identify a class of gut micriobiome metabolites binding to human CAR. Big thanks to the collaborators and the Krause group!
