• Recipient of NSFC Excellent Young Scholars Fund (2023)
• Developed novel protein post-translational modification research chain (Arginine-GlcNAcylation/ADPR-deacylization)
• Her findings appear in Textbook of Rheumatology (10th Edition)

Research Interests: Focuses on molecular mechanisms of pathogen-host interactions, particularly enteropathogenic E. coli, Salmonella, and Chromobacterium infections. Key discoveries include pathogen-mediated host inflammatory response regulation, bacterial anti-phage mechanisms, and novel programmed cell death pathways.

Scientific Contributions: Developed commercializable research tools for arginine glycosylation studies. Published 20+ papers in high-impact journals (Nature, Molecular Cell, Science) with cumulative IF>300, H-index 16, and 3000+ citations. Pioneered structural analysis of bacterial effector-host complexes via cryo-EM.
