Wei Peng obtained his Ph.D. at Tsinghua University in China with Prof. Yigong Shi and Prof. Nieng Yan, where he was trained as a structural biologist using protein crystallography and cryo-EM, and investigating protein function by biochemical methods. As a postdoc with Prof. Kim Orth at UT Southwestern Medical Center, he has discovered bacterial effector protein AvrB is a unprecedented glycosyltransferase (with a fold called Fido) that catalyzes the transfer of rhamnose from UDP-rhamnose to a threonine of its protein substrate.
