Profile
Fei Wang was born in Jingxian County of Anhui Province, China in 1980.
He received his BSc degree in traditional Chinese pharmaceutical sciences from Anhui University of Chinese Medicine in 2002, and then obtained his PhD degree in 2007 from State Key Laboratory of Phytochemistry and Plant Resources in West China, Kunming Institute of Botany, CAS, where he studied the isolation and structure elucidation of secondary metabolites from higher fungi under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Ji-Kai Liu.
He has served as Senior Research Manager (2007~2010), Deputy General Manager (2010~2014), General Manager (2014~2019) and Chief Technical Officer (2019~now) of BioBioPha Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 871574; website: www.chemlib.cn), a research-based high-tech company aiming to construct an influential Natural Product Library for global pharmaceutical R&D.
His research interests are with natural product chemistry, and the application of NMR techniques to structure problems. He has rich experiences in structure elucidation of natural products and has determined 12,000 secondary metabolites (including 1,300 new natural products) originated from hundreds of medicinal plants, macrofungi, and microorganisms so far. In addition, he also revised a dozen of incorrect structures.
He has chaired several research projects, including "Large-scale Compound Library" project of National Development and Reform Commission of China (2012~2016), and "Western Light" talents training program of Chinese Academy of Sciences (2010~2014). He was awarded the first class "Natural Sciences Prizes of Yunnan Province" as the second contributor in 2007.
Until now, he has authored or coauthored more than 80 peer-reviewed articles in the international journals, such as Org Lett, J Nat Prod, Phytochemistry, Fitoterapia, Tetrahedron, etc. He has also been invited to serve as a reviewer for several academic journals (Fitoterapia, Chem Biodivers, Chem Pharm Bull, Phytochem Lett, Nat Prod Bioprospect, etc) and an e-book “Studies in Natural Products Chemistry”.
