Biography

I am an Associate Professor at the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Zhengzhou University, China. I received my bachelor's degree from Shandong University and my Ph.D. from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. I joined Zhengzhou University in 2019. My research focuses on structure-based drug discovery and mechanistic studies, particularly targeting epigenetic regulation and metabolic-immune pathways in solid tumors, including gastric cancer. My research interests include the discovery and development of small-molecule inhibitors, peptide therapeutics, and targeted protein degradation strategies. I have led two projects funded by the Henan Provincial Science and Technology Research Program and two industry-sponsored research projects, and have participated in two additional major research projects, including those supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. I have published more than 30 SCI-indexed papers as first or corresponding author in journals such as Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Journal of Hematology & Oncology, and MedComm. I have also filed or been granted 10 Chinese invention patents. I am committed to mentoring young researchers and integrating scientific research with student development, with experience supervising undergraduate and postgraduate research projects.
