Huchen Zhu obtained his Ph.D. degree in pharmaceutical
sciences in 2014 from Huazhong University of Science and
Technology (HUST), under the direction of Prof. Yonghui
Zhang. After two years of postdoctoral research, again with Prof.
Zhang (2014–2016), he was appointed as Associate Professor
and has continued to work with the group of Prof. Zhang. He
is the recipient of an Excellent Young Scholars award of the
National Natural Science Foundation of China and was nominated as Professor in 2019. The main topics of his research
program are on structurally unique and pharmacological active
secondary metabolites from both medicinal plants and fungi.
Chunmei Chen obtained her Ph.D. degree in pharmaceutical
sciences in 2015 from Huazhong University of Science and
Technology (HUST), under the direction of Prof. Yonghui
Zhang. She worked as a postdoctoral research assistant from
2015 to 2017, again in the group of Prof. Y. Zhang, and then
became a Lecturer at the School of Pharmacy, HUST in 2017.
She was appointed as an Assistant Professor in 2019. Her main
research focus is on the isolation and structural characterization
of compounds of interest from natural sources with the potential
for drug development.
