Hejiang Luo Luo Group

Hejiang Luo is a lecturer (Associate professor appointed by the school) and master's supervisor at Kunming University of Science and Technology. He received his Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Chuxiong Normal University in June 2013, under the supervision of Professor Chen-Bo Cai. In December 2017, he obtained his Master's degree in Organic Chemistry from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at South China University of Technology, under the guidance of Professor Shifa Zhu. In June 2022, he completed his Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry from the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Sun Yat-sen University, under the supervision of Professor Albert S. C. Chan (Member of Chinese Academy of Sciences) and Professor Taotao Zou. Dr. Luo joined the School of Life Science and Technology at Kunming University of Science and Technology in August 2022 as a Class V high-level talent. His research focuses on organic synthetic methodology, with a primary emphasis on carbene chemistry, medicinal chemistry biology (particularly in the structural modification of natural products and target identification through chemical biology), and bioinorganic chemistry (gold-based anticancer drugs). He has long been devoted to the development of transition metal catalysis, structural modification of bioactive natural products, and the development of metal-containing drugs. His recent research interests are centered around the development of new methods for generating metal carbenes, nitrenes, and oxenes, as well as exploring asymmetric transformation reactions. He applies these newly developed methods for the generation of metal carbenes, nitrenes, and oxenes to the structural modification or total synthesis of complex natural products. Additionally, his research group also investigates the field of inorganic drugs and metal enzymes using bioactive natural products as ligands. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0009-0003-1465-2704
