Professional scientific researcher with a robust background in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and extensive expertise in the RNA field and in vivo experimentation. He is driven by a passion to continually acquire cutting-edge knowledge and apply it to develop meaningful therapies. It is gratifying to have the opportunity to influence human health positively through his work.
His research has been centered on exploring the mechanisms involved in inflammation-related diseases such as diabetes and obesity. In various settings, He has consistently collaborated with multidisciplinary teams dedicated to the development of gene therapies for conditions like MASLD and MASH), Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).
Additionally, He has relished the chance to cross functionally work with experts in other areas -as clinicians, pharmacists, biochemists, bioinformaticians- on projects aimed at discovering biomarkers and clinical intervention opportunities in kidney and liver transplantation.
