  • Biography

    Dr. Luo comprehensively applied theoretical methods including computational biology, bioinformatics, and drug design, combined with various chemical biology validation platforms, to discovery innovative drugs that target novel targets, mainly aimed at epigenetic enzymes and protein-protein interactions, or innovative drugs with novel mechanisms, and also investigate the mechanisms of these drugs. With these strategies, the regulatory mechanism of several important targets were revealed, and a bunch of lead compounds with development prospect were discovered (5 categories for the first time in the world), and two compounds are under clinical trials. More than 240 SCI papers were published, with a total impact factors above 1600, around 10000 citations by others, and the H-index is 47. In the past five years, breakthroughs were published on Nature, Nature Chem, JACS, PNAS, Adv Mater, Nucleic Acids Res, J Med Chem and other famous international journals as corresponding, co-corresponding or first author. 19 patent applications (2 PCT) have been submitted, and 3 domestic and 1 U.S patent applications were granted with a license. 18 graduate students graduated from his lab, and CAS Dean Excellence Award was conferred once, Excellent Graduation Thesis of Shanghai was conferred once, National Award for Graduates was conferred 10 times.

  • Achievements

    Dr. Luo’s research field is drug design and chemical biology, his research interests focus on the discoveries of new drug targets of natural products and metabolites as well as the mechanisms of the regulations of the targets using multidisciplinary technologies in biochemistry, structural biology and medicinal chemical biology. Dr. Luo has discovered targets of many important natural products or endogenous metabolites, and revealed the regulation mechanisms of the important targets. In addition, he also developed a series of promising lead compounds including the copper transporter inhibitor DC-AC50 and the small G protein Rho subfamily inhibitor DC-Rhoin. Among them 3 compounds are in pre-clinical evaluation and some compounds have been transferred successfully. Dr. Luo has published more than 130 peer-viewed paper including Nature, Cancer Cell, Nat. Chem., Adv. Sci., JACS, PNAS, Nucleic Acid Res. with about 10000 citations. He also applied 56 patents and 5 of them have been authorized and transferred successfully. Dr. Luo has presided over more than 10 projects, such as the "863" project, the key projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and Distinguished Young Scholars Fund Project. Dr. Luo has also received many honors, including leader in innovation of the Ministry of Science and Technology, leader in the "Ten Thousand Talents Program" of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, and an outstanding academic leader in Shanghai. Dr. Luo has trained more than 50 graduate students, some of whom have been engaged in post-doctoral research in the world-famous universities such as Harvard University, University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, European Center for Molecular Biology, and some of whom have been funded by a number of talent programs including the Hundred Talents Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
