I obtained my bachelor’s degree in applied chemistry from Shanghai University, where I initiated a career in organic synthesis. Subsequently, in 2019, I completed an MSc in Drug Discovery at the University of Bath. Building on this foundation, I pursued a PhD focusing on the discovery of novel fluorescent probes for peroxynitrite detection under the supervision of Professor Tony James at the University of Bath, culminating in 2023. Following my doctoral studies, I served as a Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Professor Simon Lewis’s research group at the University of Bath, with a focus on developing innovative fluorescent probes for nitrous oxide detection.
From May 2024, I became part of LSTM's Insecticide Resistance Prediction Platform (IRPP) project funded by BMGF under the guidance of Dr. Hanafy M. Ismail. Presently, my research revolves around advancing the development of chemical probes and protein degraders to delve deeper into uncovering insecticide resistance in malaria vectors. Furthermore, I am interested in exploring the pharmacokinetics of insecticides in mosquitoes to better understand their efficacy and mechanisms of action.
My research interests include:
- Chemical sensors/Fluorescent probes for ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) detection.
- Photoaffinity Labelling
