Dear Colleagues and Students,
The University is honoured to invite Academician Zihe Rao, a renowned structural biologist to share his latest research on "Africa Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) and Implications for Viral Assembly and Vaccine Design". Prof. Rao is a professor in Tsinghua University/ Nankai University, Member of the Presidium of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Former President of Nankai University and Former Director-General of the Institute of Biophysics, CAS, Former Chairman of the International Biophysical Union (IUPAB).
Prof. Rao's research focuses on the study of pathogenic infectious agents. His work has provided ground-breaking insights into viral infection, replication and assembly, and into energy and metabolite transport, drug resistance and cell wall synthesis in Mycobacteria tuberculosis. His most recent work on Africa Swine Fever Virus (ASFV), picornaviruses, herpesvirus, Mycobacteria tuberculosis provided much-needed structural data for the design and development of new anti-viral and anti-TB drugs.
