In 2019, he returned to Singapore and joined the group of Prof. Shao-Qin Yao at the Department of Chemistry, National University of Singapore as a postdoctoral research associate in April 2020, where he is currently working on the development of synthetic methodologies for late stage functionalization of drugs and bioactive natural products. Outside of the lab, he indulges on reading in his free time, and maintaining an active lifestyle that includes cycling, hiking or running on every weekend.
Dr. Dong Xiao
Graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and awarded the Doctor’s degree of pharmacy in July 2019. He was mainly focused on “Construction of the nanoparticulate drug delivery systems for tumor targeting” during his Ph.D. In Aug 2019, he joined Prof. Yao’s group as a Post-doctoral. His research interests focus on construction of the stimuli-responsive nanoparticulate platforms for effective drug delivery.
Dr. Zhang Changyu
Received the B. S. in Chemical Engineering and Technology from Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) in 2014. Then he joined Prof. Yi Long’s group to investigate the biochemistry of H2S by small-molecule organic fluorescence probes based on dual-reactive and dual-quenching strategy. He earned his Ph. D. in Jun. 2019 and then joined Prof. Yao’s group as a postdoc in Aug. 2019. His hobbies are running and watching soccer games.
Dr. Tang Guanghui
