许超，男，教授，博士生导师。2000、2005年在中国科学技术大学生命科学学院分别获得本科及博士学位。2006-2008年在美国Mayo Clinic作博士后，2009-2015年在多伦多大学结构基因组联盟从事真核基因转录调控和RNA修饰的结构生物学研究。已发表SCI研究论文超过80篇，总引用4600余次(Web of Science)。其中 超 40篇为第一作者（含共同第一作者）或通讯作者，发表在Cell，Nature Chemical Biology, Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Cell Research, PNAS, Nature Communications等期刊。
主要研究兴趣：运用结构生物学、化学生物学技术，结合分子生物学，生物物理学等方法，研究真核生物中生物大分子化学修饰,包括蛋白质翻译后修饰与核酸修饰产生、消除和识别的分子机制，以及这些修饰异常的致病（肿瘤和神经退行性疾病等）机理。并通过化学小分子筛选辅助药物设计达到控制或者治疗疾病的目的，积极推进从机制到药物开发的转化。
