Christopher J. Chang is a professor of chemistry and of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley, where he holds the Class of 1942 Chair.[1] Chang is also a member of the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, adjunct professor of pharmaceutical chemistry at the University of California, San Francisco, and faculty scientist at the chemical sciences division of Lawrence Berkeley Lab.[1][2] He is the recipient of several awards for his research in bioinorganic chemistry, molecular and chemical biology.[3]

His research interests include molecular imaging sensors for the study of redox biology[4][5] and metals,[6] especially as applied to neuroscience and immunology, metal catalysts for renewable energy cycles, and green chemistry.[1]
