The iHuman Institute of ShanghaiTech University is an international high-level research institution affiliated to ShanghaiTech University. Since its inception, the iHuman Institute has organized a group of research institutes including chemical biology, computational biology, ultra-high-resolution imaging, structural biology, systems biology, cell biology, MRI, artificial intelligence/machine learning, medicinal chemistry, and medicine. Interdisciplinary research team, including translational research. The Institute has rich scientific research resources and strong research capabilities, advocates close cooperation between research teams, and provides researchers with an excellent research environment and career advancement space.

Liu Zhijie’s group in the field of structural biology and function of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) related to major human diseases such as neurological diseases, immunity and cancer A series of breakthroughs have been made. At present, the research group mainly focuses on structural biology methods to conduct in-depth research on GPCR-related cell signal transduction mechanisms, as well as in situ structural analysis of complex machines. At the same time, new drug research and development based on structure and artificial intelligence will be carried out for GPCRs related to major diseases to promote the transformation of scientific research results.
