Steven Z. Chou (Chinese: 周自仁, Pinyin: Zhōu, Zìrén) is a researcher in the field of structural biology. He mainly uses macromolecular structures determined by X-ray crystallography, NMR and EM to elucidate the underlying mechanisms by which molecular functions are achieved.

Career
Dr. Chou received his Ph.D. in biochemistry and molecular biology from Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2010. During his Ph.D. studies, he determined several protein structures using X-ray crystallography and NMR. Then he conducted his postdoctoral research in high-resolution electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) at the University of Michigan, and later at Yale University. Besides experimental structural biology, molecular simulations had also been employed in his studies to extend his experimental results.
