About Me

Research Profile

Dedicated to advancing veterinary medicine through innovative research on host-pathogen interactions

I am a Professor and PhD Supervisor at the College of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine, Shenyang Agricultural University. My research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions, particularly in parasitic diseases.

I have been honored with several prestigious awards including the "Young Veterinary Talent" by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and recognition as a high-level talent in Shenyang City.

With over 25 SCI publications as first or corresponding author, including 17 papers in Q1 TOP journals with a total impact factor exceeding 300, my research has been published in renowned journals such as Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy (IF: 52.7), Nature Metabolism (IF: 20.8), and Nature Communications (IF: 16.7).
