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 2,239, 2,002, 1,971, 1,834, and 1,091 (H-index = 109; Total citations > 52,000 as of December 2, 2021).
Education[]
He graduated from University of Wisconsin with his B.S. before then earning his Ph.D. from University of Illinois in 1970.[1]
