Dr. Hanyu Rao is an Assistant Professor (Research) in School of Biomedical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He obtained B.S. degree in Life Science in 2015 from Hubei University, and Ph.D. degree in Oncology in 2021 from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Then he joined School of Biomedical Engineering in Shanghai Jiao Tong University and worked as an Assistant Professor (Research) in 2021. He focused on the important role and mechanism of cancer-related genes in tumorigenesis and mesenchymal stem cell carrier cell immunotherapy. In recent years, he has published several papers in mainstream SCI journals in the field of cancer, and has authorized one Chinese invention patent. He has participated in the cooperative research project between Shanghai Jiaotong University and the University of Sydney, and visited the school of Biomedical Engineering, the University of Sydney, Australia in 2019. He has successively participated in 6 scientific research projects, including key projects and general projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and Shanghai Science and Technology Commission.
