Prof. Dr. Yinghuai Zhu received his Ph.D degree (1997) in organometallic chemistry from Nankai University, China. He then worked at Nankai University for around three years as an Assistant and Associate Professor, respectively. Before joining the Institute of Chemical and Engineering Sciences at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Singapore, in 2002 as senior research fellow, he conducted research into boron chemistry at the Northern Illinois University, USA, as a post-doctoral research fellow. He worked at Macau University of Science and Technology, China, from 2017 to 2020, the year in which he joined the Sunshine Lake Pharma Co. Ltd as an expert in R&D.
