Distinguished Professor and PhD supervisor at Zhejiang University, Changjiang Scholar of the Ministry of Education, Distinguished Foreign Expert of Zhejiang Province, member of the Board of Directors of the Cell Biology Society of China, and member of the Board of Directors of the Biophysical Society of China.
His Research interests include lipid metabolism immunity. His team has been elucidated the channel structure of a major member of the scavenger receptor-CD36 superfamily for the first time, which shows the mechanism of innate immune disease。And revealing the synergy between LIMP-2 and NPC proteins, providing a potential therapeutic strategy for lysosomal storage disorders. The discovery of palmitoylation modifications of intracellular members of the NOD-like receptor family provides a new diagnostic marker for hereditary enteritis and addresses drug resistance in inflammatory bowel disease and has published high quality papers in international journals such as Nature, Science, Nucleic Acids Research, EMBO, etc.

Metabolic Medicine Center’s research fields include: glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism and immunometabolism 。
We attempting to reveal the spatio-temporal network regulation of glycolipid metabolism, the perception and response patterns of the body, organs, cells and sub-cellular structures to the state of glycolipid metabolism。
Resolving the information dialogue and synergistic regulatory network between tissues and organs regulating metabolic homeostasis。
Discovering the pathways and regulatory mechanisms for the production, transport and transformation of important glycolipid metabolites。
Discovering new laws for the regulation of glycolipid metabolism and homeostasis maintenance;
The aim is to reveal the central mechanisms of metabolic homeostasis in disease development and to develop new strategies for metabolic health.
