Personal Introduction

• Ying Shen, Ph.D., Professor

• Principle Investigator (PI) of Anti-tumor pharmacology lab

• Vice Director, Collaborative Innovation Center for Clinical and Translational Science by Ministry of Education & Shanghai

• Professor Ying Shen graduated from Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences and finished her postdoctoral training at University of California San Diego (UCSD). She has worked at Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine since 2009. Her research work focuses on metabolism reprogramming and related molecular mechanisms during targeted drug resistance and tumor metastasis in lung cancer, discovery and development of novel inhibitors targeting key enzymes in cancer cell metabolism. Relevant works have been published in high-rank SCI journals such as Cell Metab, Drug Resist Updat, Cancer Res, Sci Transl Med and have granted five patents. The cooperation potent have signed a transformation cooperation agreement.
