Prof. Dr. Yiling Hou | Health and Medicine | Best Researcher Award
Professor, China West Normal University, China
Prof. Dr. Yiling Hou is a distinguished scientist and Professor at the College of Life Sciences, China West Normal University, recognized as a reserve candidate for academic and technological leadership in Sichuan Province and an overseas high-level talent. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy (2005) and Master of Science in Medicinal Chemistry (2008) from Sichuan University, followed by a Doctor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (2011) from Sichuan Agricultural University and further enhanced her expertise as a visiting scholar at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania (2017–2018). Beginning her career as a Teaching Assistant in 2008, she advanced to Lecturer in 2011, Associate Professor in 2011 and full Professor in 2016, also serving as Program Director for Biotechnology (2013–2020) and currently as Deputy Director of the Sichuan Collaborative Innovation Center for Tissue Repair Materials Engineering Technology. Her research focuses on the isolation, purification, structural identification and biological activity of fungal polysaccharides, alongside tumor cell kinetics, spindle dynamics during mitosis, meiosis and the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer progression. Skilled in structural identification, molecular medicine, apoptosis analysis and advanced biopharmaceutical techniques, she has published 104 Scopus-indexed papers with 787 citations and an h-index of 16, reflecting her growing international impact. Prof. Dr. Yiling Hou is an active Councilor of the Sichuan Provincial Microbiology Society and the Sichuan Provincial Youth Federation, highlighting her commitment to scientific community leadership and youth engagement. Honored as an emerging academic leader in Sichuan Province, she continues to guide students and collaborative projects that bridge traditional pharmacology and modern oncology. With her strong publication record, leadership roles and global collaborations, Prof. Dr. Yiling Hou is poised to make transformative contributions to cancer research and molecular therapeutics, advancing biomedical science and inspiring future generations of researchers.
