Research Field：

Study on the discovery of novel antibiotics and anti-atherosclerotic agents

Research Interests：

Dr. Si has been engaged in the screening and discovery of novel antibiotics, anti-atherosclerotic and anti-osteoporosis agents. By the yeast two-hybrid system, Si’ Lab identified several novel anti-tuberculosis agents that target ribosome subunit interaction and novel anti-Gram negative bacterial agents that target LPS transport system LptA/LptC interaction. Si’ Lab is devoted to research and development of novel anti-atherosclerotic and anti-osteoporosis drug candidates that target ABCA1 experession regulating by PPARs and SIRTs.
