Ubiquant (九坤投资) is one of China's largest quantitative hedge funds, founded in Beijing in 2012 by two former Millennium quants, Wang Chen and Yao Qicong.

Ubiquilin

Ubiquilins are a family of conserved eukaryotic proteins that act as shuttle factors, delivering ubiquitin-tagged, misfolded proteins to the proteasome and autophagy systems; UBQLN2 mutations cause familial ALS with frontotemporal dementia.
