Brief Introduction

Dr. Lin Yuan has been engaged in the drug discovery and molecular mechanism studies of anti-infectious disease. Her research covers drug discovery of anti-tuberculosis, anti-gram-negative bacteria and anti-virus agents. She has published over 15 English articles and 3 patents. Some researches have been published on the main journals of anti-infectious disease worldwide, such as AAC, JAC, IJAA and PNAS. She has received granting funds from NSFC, MOST and CAMS/PUMC. Her outstanding research in anti-infectious drug discovery brought me the "Beijing Nova Star (2017)" and "Young Medical Scientist in CAMS/PUMC (2018)" awards.
