2008.9-2012.7,  School of Pharmacy, Wuhan University, B.D, Supervisor: Prof. Zhou Haibing

Research interests:

         mainly focus on the intersections of chemistry and life science, committed to developing chemical tools to detect and regulate life processes, reveal the rules of occurrence and development of biological events, provide new ideas for the treatment of diseases. 

Specifically:

       1. Develop anionic ligands to achieve controlled release of phosphate-containing drugs .

       2. Develop anionic ligands to disrupt the homeostasis of phosphate-containing species in tumor cells to treat tumors.

       3. Develop light-activated fluorescent probes to detect the dynamics of cell communication
