Dr. Aojun Ye My name is Aojun Ye, and I obtained my Ph.D. from the Institute of Biophysics (IBP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, where my doctoral research focused on redox regulatory mechanisms underlying retinal regeneration using zebrafish as a model system. My work investigated how redox and inflammatory signaling pathways regulate Müller glial activation and neuronal regeneration following retinal injury. My long-term research interest lies in integrating retinal biology, targeted delivery systems, and translational therapeutic strategies to advance novel interventions for neuronal regeneration and retinal degenerative diseases.
Postdoctor, 2025
Dr. Ran Duan My name is Ran Duan, a newly graduated Ph.D. in Pharmacology at China Pharmaceutical University, where I focused on identifying and characterizing novel therapeutic targets in liver metabolic diseases and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). My research interest lies in the mechanistic crosstalk among lipid metabolic reprogramming, tumor immunity, and cell fate regulation—particularly ferroptosis and pyroptosis—in disease pathogenesis and progression. My long-term goal is to bridge fundamental metabolic insights with translational drug development, advancing multimodal therapeutics—including small molecules, PROTACs, and RNA-based modalities—from target validation through preclinical evaluation. To this end, I am experienced in independent preclinical pharmacology, encompassing PK/PD and toxicological assessment. Looking forward, I aim to extend my mechanistic exploration into epigenetic regulation and metabolomic flux analysis, integrating multi-omics approaches with functional pharmacology to dissect how metabolic and epigenetic circuits orchestrate disease phenotypes and drive disease evolution.
Postdoctor, 2026
Han Yang I am Han Yang. I graduated from Henan Agricultural University with a bachelor’s degree in Bioengineering (Biological Preparation) and obtained my master’s degree from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. My master’s research focused on plant molecular biology and genetic engineering, specifically studying Medicago truncatula. Through experimental methods such as map-based cloning, gene editing, genetic hybridization, protein interaction and scanning electron microscopy, I analyzed the mechanism of inflorescence-lateral branch transformation in Medicago truncatula. I am deeply interested in the clinical application of gene editing and hope to immerse myself in this field, following Professor Wang and other members of the research team, and gain valuable insights.

Yingxiang Wu I am Yingxiang Wu, a fresh PhD student (2025) at China Pharmaceutical University. My research focuses on integrating computational analysis, data mining, and model—based approaches with experimental validation to develop innovative strategies for advancing molecular biotechnology and its applications. I aim to bridge computational and experimental perspectives to tackle complex biological challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration and creative problem—solving. Outside of research, I enjoy exploring new destinations and discovering dishes I have never tried before. To me, exploration is more than a hobby—it is a mindset that fuels both my scientific work and my life, whether I am pursuing a novel research idea, wandering through an unfamiliar city, or savoring a unique flavor. I look forward to working with collaborators to deepen our understanding of complex systems and contribute to meaningful discoveries.
