About Dongqing WeiZhaobin Xu
Zhaobin Xu is a life science professor at Dezhou University China. He earned his PhD in systems biology from Villanova University Pennsylvania USA in 2015. With postdoctoral experience in computer enzyme design at Tsinghua University China he delves into virus research using bioinformatics and mathematical modeling focusing on SARS-CoV-2 interactions with hosts. His Markov chain model accurately forecasts COVID-19 trends and evaluates government policies. Xu's innovative virus theories explain coronavirus prevalence variations RNA virus evolution and defective virus infections while proposing insights into adaptive immunity dynamics.Dongqing Wei a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and distinguished bioinformatics professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University has authored over 550 papers. His groundbreaking work in bioinformatics/AI drug design and molecular simulation spans chemical physical and biological systems. Notable achievements include discovering ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals pioneering ab initio MD simulation of explosion and developing the anti-aging drug candidate WGX-50. With 12000+ SCI citations an H factor of 62 and extensive conference engagements Wei is a leading figure in interdisciplinary sciences and computational life sciences.
