Personal profile

In June 2009, he received a doctor's degree in Microbiology from Sun Yat-sen University. Since July 2009, he has been engaged in the molecular mechanism of interaction between RNA virus (ZIKV/DENV/HIV-1) and host in Sun Yat-sen Medical College, Sun Yat-sen University. He has made a series of important research achievements in the field of molecular mechanism of host factors, especially lipid metabolism related factors, regulating viral replication. He is also the corresponding author (co-corresponding author) and the first author of the Journal of Virology, Journal of Biological Chemistry, Virology, Retrovirology, Frontiers in Science He has published more than 10 SCI papers in Microbiology, Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, and BMC Medicine. In recent years, he has hosted 2 projects of the National Natural Science Foundation, 2 projects of the Natural Science Foundation of Guangdong Province, 1 project of the Provincial Science and Technology Program of Guangdong Province, 1 sub-project of the Innovation Team of Guangdong Province, 1 special fund for doctoral programs of universities and 1 Postdoctoral Science Fund of China, and was selected as the top young talents of the Guangdong Special Support Plan in 2016.
