Dr. Fan was trained at UC, Berkeley in Biostatistics and obtained his Doctor degree from Cornell/Sloan-kettering in structural biology/Immunology. He was further trained by Dr. Gunter Blobel at Rockefeller University. With a dream of using a hybrid approach (by combining computation design and experimental validation) to accelerate drug discovery, and to reform current “hit-2-lead” drug discovery scheme, Dr. Fan founded Accutar biotech with the support of Dr. Gunter Blobel. Dr. Fan also hold a joint appointment at SUNY, Downstate medical school as a research assistant professor.

Wei He, Ph.D., brings to Accutar Biotechnology 11 years of oncology drug discovery experience in both small molecule and biologics. Most recently, he was Associate Director of Preclinical Pharmacology at Incyte Corporation. In this role, he oversaw cancer biology groups leading efforts of project initiation and progression to IND. Prior to joining Incyte, Wei served as scientific project leader at Abbvie Oncology and Roche Oncology, where he led cross-functional project teams working on immuno oncology, targeted therapy, antibody drug conjugate and therapeutic RNAi programs.
Wei obtained his B.S. and M.S. in chemistry from Peking University in China and his Ph.D. in biochemistry and molecular biology from Baylor College of Medicine. He completed his HHMI postdoctoral training at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

Dr. Blobel is a member of National academy of sciences and is recognized by numerous awards including Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine (1999) and Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research (1993).
