Part 2 Personal Profile
Dr. Zhiping Yin is a Qualified Professor and Master's Supervisor at the School of Pharmacy, Jiangsu University. He obtained his B.S. in Pharmacy from Hunan Normal University (2012), his M.S. in Medicinal Chemistry from West China College of Pharmacy, Sichuan University (2015, Prof. Zhenlei Song), and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Rostock (2019), completed at the Leibniz-Institut für Katalyse (LIKAT) under Prof. Xiao-Feng Wu and Prof. Matthias Beller (Member of the German Academy of Sciences), with the LIKAT doctoral scholarship and the National Scholarship for Outstanding Self-financed Chinese Students Abroad. He joined Jiangsu University in January 2020 and served as deputy chair of the Department of Pharmaceutical Engineering. His research focuses on homogeneous catalysis involving the gasotransmitter carbon monoxide and CO-releasing prodrugs, the creation of sustainable photo- and (bio)enzymatic catalytic systems, and stapled peptides as Sirtuin inhibitors for anticancer therapy. He has authored 50 SCI papers and edited or contributed to two Wiley books, and leads or participates in five national and provincial research projects. His works appeared in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., ACS Catal., Org. Lett. and Chem. Commun. Awards include the 2019 National Scholarship for Outstanding Self-financed Chinese Students Abroad and the 2022 Jiangsu University Young Mentor for Sci-Tech Innovation.
