Congratulations to JHU Chemistry professor Xiongyi Huang (Xiongyi Huang-JHU Biocatalysis) for being named a 2021 Packard Foundation fellow. š"Our lab is working on some very challenging transformations to incorporate into nature." hub.jhu.edu/2021/10/14/xioā¦

Incredibly honored to be part of the 2021 #PackardFellows Packard Foundation This was made possible with the hard work of my group @ Anthony Huls Jinyan Zhao Qun Xinyuan Ji Zhenhong Chen @jamesgzhang. I am grateful to my previous mentors and my colleagues JHU Chemistry for their support.


Excited to share our work on engineering protoglobins to catalyze the challenging formation of cis-trifluoromethyl substituted cyclopropanes. I initiated this project while I was at Caltech and am grateful for Frances Arnold letting me be the corresponding author of this paper.



I would like to express my gratitude to my collaborators, Marc Garcia-BorrĆ s and Prof. Yunfang Yang from Zhejiang University of Technology, for their valuable contributions to this project.

I am deeply grateful to The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation for this esteemed recognition. My sincere thanks to all current and former members of our team for their dedication and hard work, which have made this possible.

KFB Lab Alert: Congratulations to Elizabeth Gross on her News & Views Article Nature Synthesis covering a pair of fantastic reports on a new biocatalytic strategy for radical fluorination by Peng Liu Group, Yang Yang, Yunfang Yang, Marc Garcia-BorrĆ s, Xiongyi Huang-JHU Biocatalysis!

Excited to share the preprint of our latest work, led by graduate students James Zhang James Zhang and Anthony Huls Anthony Huls, on engineering nonheme iron enzymes for new-to-nature transformations! We evolved hydroxymandelate synthase from Amycolatopsis orientalis (AoHMS) to


Our work on nonheme iron enzyme-catalyzed olefin trifluoromethylative difunctionalization is now published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. !
