Dr. Jiaoyang Jiang earned her Ph.D. in chemistry from Brown University with Prof. David Cane, where she elucidated natural product biosynthetic pathways in bacteria. Following that, Dr. Jiang performed postdoctoral research at Harvard Medical School in the laboratory of Prof. Suzanne Walker, where she characterized the glycosyltransferase & the unique proteolytic activities of human O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), and discovered a small molecule with novel mechanism of inhibition. In August 2013, Dr. Jiang started her appointment as an Assistant Professor of Drug Discovery at the UW-Madison School of Pharmacy. She was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2019. Dr. Jiang is also a faculty trainer for the NIH sponsored Chemistry-Biology Interface Training Program, and Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology Training Program at the UW-Madison. Dr. Jiang has received a number of awards, including Distinguished Faculty Award, Vilas Faculty Early Career Investigator Award, David Y. Gin New Investigator Award, and Young Chemical Biologist Award. Her group is currently developing innovative strategies and tools to characterize the substrate recognition and functional regulation of O-GlcNAc cycling enzymes (OGT and OGA) in health and disease.
