Xuezhi Bi PhD

Dr. Bi Xuezhi obtained his Ph.D. in 2000 from Wuhan University, China, followed by postdoctoral training at the International Rice Research Institute and National University of Singapore. He joined A*STAR as a research scientist and mass spectrometry facility manager in 2009, where he contributed to chemical proteomics for chemical probe/drug target identification, protein PTM, and interacting partners characterization. Later, he was appointed as the head of the proteomics group at Bioprocessing Technology Institute, focusing on mass spectrometry-based biotherapeutics product quality attribute characterization.

His work also involves proteomic profiling of upstream and downstream CHO culture processes, working closely with biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies. All his research subjects are related to protein and proteomics, ranging from rice, dust mites, fungus, virus, tears, sweat, cancer cell lines and tissue, embryonic stem cells, platypus venom to CHO cell-produced biotherapeutics. With many research collaborations with faculty members from signature programs such as Cancer & Stem Cell Biology, and Cardiovascular & Metabolic Disorders, he joined the faculty as an Adjunct Associate Professor, Office of Research at Duke-NUS in 2019 to share his proteomics expertise.
