I have been researching RNA viruses, such as enterovirus A71 and influenza viruses for many years, especially focusing on virus-host interaction and antiviral developments. My team has achieved important milestones, such as developing small molecules and botanic drugs that successfully inhibit several RNA viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. I have published these findings in prestigious journals such as Antimicrob. Agents Chemother., J. Antimicrob. Chemother., J. Biol. Chem., J. Med. Chem., Antiviral Res., Emerg. Microbes Infect., and J. Virol. 


Research Topics
  1. Antiviral development
  2. Antiviral assays in vitro and in vivo
