个人简历

高志增，本科毕业于山东大学。2008到2013年在加拿大阿尔伯塔大学John Vederas 教授课题组（英国皇家院士，Fellow of the Royal Society）攻读博士学位，主要研究天然产物的生物合成，在JACS, Nature Chem Bio等期刊发表论文多篇。2013年，加入英属哥伦比亚大学Steve Withers 教授组（英国皇家院士，Fellow of the Royal Society），从事博士后研究。在博后期间发展了多种流感病毒神经氨酸酶荧光探针（Angew 2017, Angew 2018，US Patent 16/257,920）。之后发展了“FP tag”高通量糖基转移酶活性测试方法，并通过高通量筛选发现了两个海洋来源的Kdo 糖基转移酶抑制剂（JACS 2019）。之后和加拿大医药研究中心（CDRD）合作，筛选了一个包含15万化学物的商业化合物库，找出多个Kdo 糖基转移酶抑制剂。2018年，加入中山大学海洋学院，

研究领域

"""""主要的研究方向是海洋天然产物的基因挖掘以及其药物化学应用。"
