🧬 DR. SHI HAIFENG: A PIONEER IN BIOCHEMISTRY AND METAL TOXICOLOGY
🎓 EARLY ACADEMIC PURSUITS
Dr. Shi Haifeng, born in November 1975, laid the foundation of his scientific career with a Bachelor's Degree in Biochemistry from the Department of Biochemistry, Nanjing University in 1998. Recognized for his academic excellence, he pursued advanced research and earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2002, where he studied under the mentorship of Professor Hong Xue. This early education provided him with a deep understanding of biochemical processes and ignited his passion for research in molecular biology.
👨🔬 PROFESSIONAL ENDEAVORS
After completing his doctoral degree, Dr. Shi embarked on an impressive career path, starting as a Research Associate at HKUST from 2002 to 2004, contributing significantly to cutting-edge research in Professor Xue’s laboratory. In 2004, he expanded his expertise internationally by serving as a Visiting Scholar at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), USA, in the Liver Diseases Branch of NIDDK, where he remained until 2009. During this time, he developed a profound understanding of metal ion metabolism and its biological toxicity. Dr. Shi returned to China and took up a Professorship at Jiangsu University in 2009, where he became an integral part of the Institute of Life Sciences.
Dr. Shi’s research stands out in the field of metal ion metabolism and toxicology. He has made groundbreaking contributions to understanding how iron, copper, and cadmium affect human health, particularly in the context of nephropathy caused by heavy metals. His studies on cell-free circulating DNA (cfDNA) have opened new avenues for diagnosing tissue cell damage, furthering the development of non-invasive diagnostics for various diseases. His ability to apply model organisms in his research has provided critical insights into the effects of heavy metal exposure on biological systems.
🌍 IMPACT AND INFLUENCE
With over 70 peer-reviewed publications in international journals, Dr. Shi’s work has garnered significant attention from the global scientific community. One of his papers was selected as a Highly Cited Paper by ESI, while another received notable recognition from Professor Alan Parrish from the University of Missouri-Columbia and was recommended by Faculty Opinions (formerly F1000Prime). This recognition highlights the broad relevance and influence of Dr. Shi’s research. Dr. Shi's international collaborations and contributions during his tenure at NIH have further extended his influence, enabling him to build a global network that enhances his research impact.
