基本概况

Sajid Ur Rahman, Ph.D., is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the School of Public Health and Emergency Management, School of Medicine, Southern University of Science and Technology in the group of Assistant Professor Dr. Zhenfeng Zhang. He received his Ph.D., from the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in 2022, and received his first postdoctoral training at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China. He joined the team in November 2024. He is mainly engaged in research on hepatitis viruses (HDV), and antiviral treatment strategies, zoonoses: the pathogenicity, toxicity and drug resistance of zoonotic pathogens and the screening and intervention mechanism of immune protective drugs. He has published more than 45 papers, including 12 papers published as the first author and co-first author in journals such as Frontiers in Immunology, Microbial Pathogenesis, Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, Inflammopharmacology, Aging and Disease, Nutrients, and others. His research results have been selected as oral reports at international academic conferences, and have won several awards.
