Jeffrey I. Zink is an American molecular biologist and chemist currently a Distinguished Professor at University of California, Los Angeles whose interests are in materials, nanoscience, physical and inorganic chemistry. His current research is examining molecules containing metal and nanomaterials.[1][2][3] He worked with Fraser Stoddart to help develop machines that could be applied to deliver drugs.[4] According to Google Scholar, his highest citations are 2,503, 2,131, 1,968, 1,873, and 1,150 (H-index = 113; Total citations > 55,000 as of June 29, 2023).

Education

[edit]

He graduated from University of Wisconsin with his B.S. before then earning his Ph.D. from University of Illinois in 1970.[1]
