A highly motivated and experienced researcher in the interdisciplinary field of Chemical Biology and Pharmaceutical Sciences. My research focuses on systematically addressing critical challenges in the application of natural products, such as traditional Chinese medicine, for innovative drug development, tackling key issues including drug design, synthesis and optimisation, as well as elucidation of target and mechanism of action for new drug molecules. By leveraging interdisciplinary knowledge and skills in pharmacy, organic chemistry, and chemical biology, my research aims to transform traditional empirical approaches in medical practices into modern medicine with molecular mechanisms, to serve as a scientific foundation for modern drug discovery.
