Brief Introduction

Lu Yang has been engaged in drug research and development for more than 30 years, and created the first technology platform of chemical drug crystal form in China. She is editor-in-chief of China's first academic monograph "Polymorphic Drugs". Lv has presided over the completion of the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" guidelines for drug crystal form research and crystal form quality control, promoted the scientific and technological progress of polymorphic drugs, improved the quality and efficacy of China’s innovative and generic polymorphic drugs in accordance with international standards. She took the lead in developing national-level certified standard substances of metered chemical purity and crystal form drugs that meet international standards. She has obtained 212 national-level standard substances traceable to the international SI unit, and promoted the international mutual recognition of the standard of pharmaceutical substances in China. More than 120 domestic and foreign invention patent applications have been filed, and more than 60 patents have been authorized. As chief/associate editor, she has published 2 academic monographs, 9 participating works and more than 300 research papers.
