Hao ShaoDr. Hao Shao is associate professor of Medicinal Chemistry in the College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Southwest University, Chongqing, China. He received his Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry from University of Nottingham, United Kingdom, and postdoctoraltraining from the University of California, San Francisco, USA. Dr. Shao has authored/co-authored over 45 peer-reviewed research articles and served as a reviewer for many journals in the field. He is also members of many scientific societies. Dr. Shao's research focuses on small molecule drug discovery for cancer and neurogenerative diseases through a multidisciplinary approach, including high throughput screening, protein biochemistry, computer-aided drug design, organic synthesis and pharmacology, with an overreaching goal to develop drug-like compounds and evaluate their efficacy in pre-clinical models for the future translation to the clinic. His lab currently is interested in targeting cyclin-dependent kinases, molecular chaperones and AAA+ ATPases for the treatment of cancer and neurogenerative diseases. Read More Read Less
