About Roland

Dr. Roland Chung serves as a Lecturer in Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Education within the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Monash University. He is affiliated with the Medicinal Chemistry group at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences. His research focuses on medicinal chemistry, particularly the structural biology and function of enzymes including aldose reductase-like protein AKR1B14, aldehyde reductase, and L-xylulose reductase. Chung utilizes X-ray crystallography, site-directed mutagenesis, molecular modelling, and analysis of binding constants to study inhibitor binding, coenzyme interactions, and critical disulfide bonds in enzyme active sites. This work contributes to understanding mechanisms relevant to drug development and supports SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being.
