团队介绍

许杰课题组致力于探索机械力在正常生理和疾病过程中的作用,利用医学、生物、材料和机械电子工程多学科交叉的优势,原创开发新型高通量力学刺激设备,运用人源原代细胞和基因编辑动物模型,结合分子生物学、细胞生物学及遗传学技术手段,研究机械力敏感受体和蛋白在多种生理病理中的功能。课题组聚焦于研究机械应力在缺血、炎症、脓毒症等病理状态下的微循环调控作用和分子机制。在探索疾病治疗新靶点的同时,课题组进行早期药物实体的高通量筛选,并结合人工智能技术,采用大语言模型筛选和研发新药并推进转化。

 

团队青年成员发展前景广阔,曾获国家自然科学基金青年学生基础研究项目(博士研究生),国家奖学金,中国科协青年科技人才培育工程博士生专项计划等荣誉和资助。研究成果获2025 年中国生物力学与力学生物学十大进展(排名第一)。具体工作请参考Zhu et al., Nature 2025 (DOI: 10.1038/s41586-025-09222-5); Xiao et al., Advanced Science 2026 (DOI: 10.1002/advs.202520244); Xu et al.,Cell 2018(DOI: 10.1016/J.CELL.2018.03.076)。
