Hai-Yang Liu Dr. Haiyang Liu is a professor at State Key Laboratory of Phytochemistry and Natural Medicines, Kunming Institute of Botany (KIB), Chinese Academy of Sciences. He finished his Bachelor's degree in Applied Chemistry (1994) at Sichuan University (Chengdu University of Science and Technology). Then, he received his PhD in Medicinal Chemistry in 2005 from Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences. After graduation, he worked in the State Key Laboratory of Phytochemistry and Natural Medicines of KIB, CAS and as a visiting scholar at University of Mississippi in 2014. He was promoted to Full Professor (2014). His research interests include: (1) the discovery and mechanisms of novel and bioactive natural products from traditional Chinese medicine and medicinal plants (with emphasis on the genera Paris, Ypsilandra, Chloranthus, etc., and the family Myrtaceae) and the R&D of innovative drugs; (2) the sustainable utilization of medicinal plant resources. He has published more than 150 articles, including those published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Food Chemistry, Organic Letters, European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Journal of Biological Chemistry, Journal of Natural Products, ect. He also serves as the Editorial Board members of various journals including Food Science and Human Wellness, Fitoterapia, Natural Products and Bioprospecting. Yunheng Ji Dr. Yunheng Ji is a professor at the State Key Laboratory of Phytochemistry and Natural Medicines, and the CAS Key Laboratory for Plant Diversity and Biogeography of East Asia, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. He is an expert in the monocotyledonous families, Asparagaceae and Melanthiaceae, as well as aquatic angiosperms. His research focuses on the evolution, conservation, and sustainable utilization of economically important, endemic, and endangered ("3E") plant taxa, involving in molecular phylogenetics, evolutionary and functional genomics, biogeography, plant taxonomy, and population genetics. He currently serves as the Editorial Board members of journals "BMC Plant Biology" and "Frontiers in Genetics". He has authored more than 60 peer reviewed research publications in well reputed scientific journals, and the book entitled "A Monograph of Paris (Melanthiaceae)" was published by Springer & Nature in 2021. Xig Fang Dr. Xing Fang is a professor at State Key Laboratory of Phytochemistry and Natural Medicines, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences. By comprehensively utilizing techniques such as molecular biology, biochemistry, and phytochemistry, his research focuses on the study of novel structural active secondary metabolites in plants, using phytochemical methods to discover new structurally active natural products, and employing genomics, transcriptomics, enzymology, and other methods to analyze the biological metabolic pathways and enzymatic mechanisms of highly active metabolites. He has published more than 70 articles, including those published in Nat. Chem. Biol., Nat. Plants, Nat. Commun. PNAS, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Mol. Plant, ect.
