He accepted an assistant professorship position at Fudan University in 2008 and was promoted to associate professor in 2013. During that time, he did his postdoctoral training at the University of Chicago (USA) in 2010. He became involved in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology. Now, he focused on the cancer metabolism pathway and developed small molecule inhibitors against key enzymes in the glycolytic pathway to understand metabolic flux in cancer cells. The aim of his research is to find potential drug targets and candidates for cancer chemotherapy. He has published more than 30 scientific publications, including many peer-reviewed journal articles such as Nature Chemistry, Cancer Cell, and Nature Communications.
