| Prof. Weiyu Chen Professor, Guangzhou Medical University University of New South Wales Alumnus 陈伟钰教授, 广州医科大学 新南威尔士大学校友 Prof. Weiyu Chen earned his PhD from The University of New South Wales and The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute in 2019. During his doctoral studies, Weiyu created a novel mouse model of bilirubin deficiency. This innovative model enabled him to show, for the first time, that bilirubin acts as an in vivo antioxidant. Following his PhD, Weiyu continued his research journey at The Heart Research Institute and The University of Sydney. Here, he completed mechanistic work on the role of bilirubin in atherosclerotic plaque stability and metabolic disease using multiple pre-clinical models. In 2023, Weiyu joined Guangzhou Medical University in China as a professor, taking the lead in a research group that centers on heart disease. Weiyu’s research seeks to unravel the long-recognized yet poorly understood phenomenon: the protective effect of mild jaundice (slightly elevated bilirubin) against cardiometabolic diseases. His significant contributions and achievements in the fields of public health and medical research are evident through his extensive publication record, comprising over 30 papers in distinguished peer-reviewed international journals such as Circulation Research, Redox Biology, and Free Radical Biology and Medicine. Aligned with the emphasis on practicality and innovation characteristic of Australian education and research, Weiyu aims to integrate these values into his ongoing endeavors in education and research. He is also enthusiastic about fostering collaborations and facilitating knowledge exchange between Australia and China. 陈伟钰教授于2019年在The University of New South Wales 获得博士学位，主要研究胆红素对心血管及代谢系统的保护作用及机制，为抗氧化剂治疗动脉粥样硬化、胰岛素耐受、非酒精性脂肪肝提供了重要的医学研究基础。2019至2023年，他先后在Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute和The Heart Research Institute从事博士后研究工作，聚焦于不稳定性动脉粥样斑块病理机制以及髓过氧化物酶MPO抑制剂逆转不稳定斑块的作用机制。2023年以广州医科大学南山学者特聘教授加入广州医科大学附属第二医院广州心血管疾病研究所任职。陈伟钰教授曾获Society for Free Radical Research International 青年研究奖，The Gordon Research Conference on Chemistry and Biology of Tetrapyrroles 会议奖，The Australian Vascular Biology Society 青年研究奖。共发表SCI论文30篇，近五年研究成果以第一作者身份发表在Circulation Research, Redox Biology, Free Radical Biology and Medicine等领域内顶级期刊。他的研究成果受到了中澳科研界的广泛关注。陈伟钰教授非常注重细节的积累，并坚持科学实事求是的精神，这也是澳大利亚教育和研究的显著特点之一，他致力于将这些价值观融入教学和研究中，为中澳科研合作作出更多贡献。 |
