International Joint Lab on Environmental Exposure and Health (IJLEEH)

Research More >

The lab's six focus areas: 1.Pollutant Tracking (POPs/microplastics). 2.Contaminant Toxicity (PMTs via organoid/zebrafish). 3.Stereoisomer Analysis. 4.Exposure-Health Risk Integration. 5.Toxic Mechanisms (Epigenetics/QSAR). 6.China-Sri Lanka Lab (Medicine/Engineering/Bioinfo). Strengths: Chiral analysis, toxicity prediction, "detection-mechanism-intervention" framework.

Shanshan Yin Associate Professor Environmental Exposure and Human Health

Dr. Shanshan Yin is Vice-dean of Shulan International Medical College at Zhejiang Shuren University. Previously, he was an FWO Junior Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Antwerp’s Toxicological Centre (Belgium) and served as Associate Professor at Zhejiang Shuren University’s Interdisciplinary Research Academy. Dr. Yin holds a BSc in Clinical Laboratory Science from Hubei University of Chinese Medicine (2007), followed by five years as a clinical laboratory technician at Hubei Hospital of Chinese Medicine. He earned an MSc in Analytical Chemistry under Prof. Jie Sun at South-Central University for Nationalities (2015) and a PhD in Environmental Sciences under Prof. Weiping Liu at Zhejiang University (2019). Post-PhD, he completed postdoctoral work at Zhejiang University (2019–2021) and secured an FWO Junior Postdoctoral Fellowship (2020), commencing in Belgium in 2022 before returning to China in 2024 for full-time academia. A prolific researcher, Dr. Yin has authored 48 peer-reviewed papers in journals like Environment International and Environmental Pollution, with 1,000+ citations and an H-index of 20 (as of May 2023). His work focuses on environmental exposure assessment, leveraging advanced analytical techniques (e.g., chromatography, mass spectrometry) to study chemical transport, human exposure pathways (dietary, dermal, inhalation), and health impacts. He integrates environmental monitoring, biomonitoring, and computational modeling in his research. Dr. Yin serves as a reviewer for environmental/toxicology journals, a Young Editor Board member for the Journal of Environmental Exposure Assessment, and a guest editor for special issues in sustainability and toxicology. His expertise spans: Methodologies for assessing environmental chemical exposure Population-level contaminant exposure patterns Trans-barrier transport mechanisms in humans Health risk evaluation via multi-pathway exposure Key skills include proficiency in gas chromatography, HPLC, and supercritical fluid chromatography, applied to interdisciplinary studies bridging environmental science and public health.

Lu Zhao PhD. Environmental Exposure and Human Health

Dr. Lu Zhao, a native of Huaian, Jiangsu Province, is a Lecturer and Deputy Director of the Environmental Chemistry and Exposure Research Laboratory. She holds a Bachelor of Science and a Doctor of Engineering degree. A PhD graduate in Environmental Science from Zhejiang University, she has long been engaged in research on the separation, analysis, configuration characterization, and stereoselective environmental behavior/toxicity of chiral pesticides and chiral persistent organic pollutants (POPs). In her previous work, Dr. Zhao developed analytical methods for separating chiral compounds and characterizing their absolute configurations, demonstrating strong foundational expertise in chiral compound analysis and proficiency with advanced instrumentation. Her research on toxicity differences between enantiomers of chiral pesticides led to proposals for pesticide use reduction strategies. Additionally, her investigations into transplacental transport of pollutants during maternal-fetal transmission revealed stereoselective behaviors in these processes. Dr. Zhao has authored or co-authored 4 first/co-first-author papers in journals such as Environmental Pollution and Science of the Total Environment, with 17 collaborative publications to her credit.
