The Institute is intended to create collaborations aimed at unlocking intractable drug targets, discovering new therapeutic modalities, and accelerating discovery of new medicines in human diseases. Dean’s UC Berkeley coresearchers at the Institute include Daniel Nomura (Institute Director), Thomas Maimone, Ziyang Zhang, and James Olzmann.
Dean’s service to the campus community has also been admirable. He played an instrumental role as a member of UC Berkeley’s Research Recovery Committee, which was established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading campus recovery efforts in physical/chemical sciences research.
