Ph.D. 

Research Areas:
Chemical Biology
Pharmacology

 

Education & Positions:

Assistant Professor, Peking University 2011-now
Visiting Scholar, Harvard Medical University, 2016-2017

 

Research Interests:

Our research interests focus on the biotherapeutic drug development by using a creative combination of chemical biology, molecular biology and cell biology
approaches. The ongoing program including (1) Study of the dynamic interactions between virus and host cells, and development of new biotherapeutic
anti-virus drugs by integrating the approaches of bioorthogonal chemistry, genetic code expansion and glycoprotein modification.(2) target- and phenotypic-
based anti-cancer drug development. (3) Exploring the molecular mechanisms that regulate cancer cell death with small molecules as a tool, and identification of new targets for anti-cancer drugs.
