She graduated from the Biochemistry Department of the University of Hong Kong and is now a postdoctoral researcher at MD Anderson Cancer Center of the University of Texas. In recent years, she has published many high-level papers in international famous journals such as cancer cell, nature communication, oncogene, J of control release, J Clin invest, and has two US patents. she is also responsible for scientific reports, cancer biology and medicine, International Journal of oncology, etc.

Dr. Shi Lei mainly studied tumor synthetic biology during her doctoral program. Based on efficient genetic recombination and genetic engineering of various Salmonella, she developed efficient cross-border gene presentation and expression system to destroy tumor microenvironment for tumor treatment. Based on this work, she published six academic papers and awarded two US patents. 

In the post doctoral stage, as the first author, she published papers one after another, revealing the important functions of SIRT1 and sirt7, members of sirtuin family, which are closely related to aging related diseases, in the occurrence and metastasis of breast cancer stem cells (nature communication, 2017, Oncogene 2018), and for the first time revealed that ythdf3 is an important indicator of brain metastasis of breast cancer, proving that up regulation of ythdf3 expression is necessary for multiple cascade reaction steps of brain metastasis (cancer cell 2020).

A new generation of nano antibody screening and preparation platform was developed by combining biological mass spectrometry with deep sequencing technology, which greatly improved the preparation efficiency and yield of nano antibody. At present, as the project leader, he has undertaken one National Natural Science Foundation, one doctoral program fund of the Ministry of education, two natural science funds of Zhejiang Province, one public welfare research project of science and Technology Department of Zhejiang Province, and one medical and health science and technology plan of Zhejiang Province. As one of the main researchers, he has successively participated in 6 major scientific and technological projects of the state, such as "prevention and control of major infectious diseases such as AIDS and viral hepatitis". More than 40 SCI papers have been published, 4 national invention patents have been authorized, 1 first prize of Zhejiang medicine and health science and technology award, and 1 second prize of Zhejiang science and technology award.

He holds a PhD in biology from the University of Hong Kong. He was a postdoctoral fellow in Dr Alan Wong's team at the University of Hong Kong. His research focuses on using and optimizing gene editing tools based on CRISPR-Cas9 technology. Develop and optimize the CRISPR Cas9 combination knockout high-throughput screening platform to screen out potential new triple drug combinations for the treatment of ovarian cancer and Parkinson's disease.

Doctor of structural biology, School of medicine, University of Hong Kong; Master of bioinformatics and computational biology, University of Leeds, UK. He was a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Qian Chengmin's team of Li Ka Shing School of medicine, University of Hong Kong. Research direction: To explore the mechanism of DNA damage repair pathway and epigenetic regulation of gene expression through the structural biology research of related proteins. she was awarded the faculty outstanding research output award by Li Ka Shing School of medicine, University of Hong Kong. In 2016, she was selected as the final candidate of HKIS Towngas Young Scientist Award.

He graduated from the school of medicine of the University of Hong Kong and is a postdoctoral researcher of the school of medicine of the University of Hong Kong. He has published many articles in cell metabolism (if = 22.4), human reproduction (if = 5.8), circulation research (if = 15.8), fertility & sterlity (if = 6.3) and human behavior and brain. One national invention patent was obtained; He won the young investigator eposter award of the 15th International Symposium on health aging "towards ending youth" of the University of Hong Kong.

He is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of chemistry of the University of Hong Kong and a doctor in the Li Ka Shing School of medicine of the University of Hong Kong. He served as the manager of national technical experts in the bioscience Department of China. The main direction of the project is the preparation of molecular and sample products for the whole product development and technology promotion. As a technical expert, it has participated in the project, product design, research and development, production and certification of the COVID-19 extraction reagent locally, helping to realize the landing and listing of the 6 inner month projects. As the main member of the project, he won the annual president award of semefei in 2020.
