We are a research group at the Institute of Metabolism and Integrative Biology (IMIB), Fudan University. Our lab integrates computational biology, artificial intelligence, single-cell omics, and spatial transcriptomics to decode metabolic programs, cellular states, and disease mechanisms across obesity, fibrosis, hematopoietic aging, and cancer.
We combine state-of-the-art single-cell omics, spatial transcriptomics, long-read sequencing, and computational modeling to investigate metabolism and disease biology at cellular resolution.
Applying multi-omics approaches to dissect the molecular underpinnings of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cancer. We leverage large-scale datasets to identify metabolic reprogramming signatures, uncover how metabolic dysregulation drives disease progression, and reveal potential therapeutic vulnerabilities.
Using single-cell and spatial technologies to map shared and disease-specific cellular mechanisms across fibrotic disorders, identify conserved therapeutic targets, and accelerate pan-fibrosis biomarker and treatment discovery.
Building novel algorithms, digital metabolism frameworks, and integrative multi-modal analysis pipelines to quantify metabolic states, identify cellular programs, and generate biologically interpretable models from large-scale omics data.

Ph.D. with Prof. John Speakman, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Postdoc with Prof. Adam Mead, MRC WIMM, University of Oxford
Junior Research Fellow, Wolfson College, University of Oxford
Research direction: metabolism, single-cell omics, spatial transcriptomics, artificial intelligence, and computational biology.
