Beili Wu got her Ph. D. degree at Tsinghua University, Beijing in 2006, and worked as a postdoc fellow at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California from 2007 to 2011. She is currently a Professor of Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica (SIMM), Chinese Academy of Sciences. Dr. Wu has worked on protein structural biology, studying protein structure and function relations for over ten years. Her current research interest is focused on G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). She has established a GPCR structural biology research platform at SIMM, and is making great progress on structural studies of many key GPCRs. Dr. Wu and her group have solved several crystal structures of chemokine receptors and purinergic receptors in the last five years. These GPCR structures deep our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of HIV-1 viral entry and platelet aggregation, and provide new clues about new drug discovery for the treatment of HIV-1 infection and thrombus.
