Short Biography of Bin Yu, PhD
I obtained my B. Sc. and M. Sc. degrees from the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Zhengzhou University (ZZU), China in 2010 and 2012, respectively and then continued my doctoral work on the synthesis and biological evaluation of steroidal heterocycles at the same university in 2012 under the supervision of Prof. Hong-Min Liu (Head of Department) and Prof. De-Quan Yu (Fellow of Chinese Academy of Engineering). As a visiting PhD student, I carried out part of my doctoral research work on the synthetic method development in the chemistry department, University of Cambridge under the supervision of Prof. David Spring (02/2014-02/2016), and obtained my PhD degree (Doctor of Medicine) in July, 2016. My research interests mainly focus on the discovery of new anticancer agents using contemporary drug design strategies. During the last five years, I have been awarded several prestigious scholarships such as Baosteel Scholarship, National Scholarship of China, CSC Scholarship, Qiu Shi Outstanding Student Scholarship, and so on. Also, I was elected as one of the top 10 students of Zhengzhou University and the outstanding graduate of He'nan province in 2015 and 2016, respectively.
Since July 2016, I have been working at the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, ZZU and promoted to a Associate Professorship in January, 2018. To date, I have published over 70 papers in international peer-reviewed journals (two ESI highly cited papers) & filed 14 Chinese patents. |
