Dr. Dashuang Shi is an Associate Professor in the Center for Genetic Research and the Department of Integrative Systems Biology, Gorge Washington University. He received his B.S. (1983) and M.S. (1987) degrees in chemistry from Xiamen University and his Ph.D. in 1997 from the University of Sydney. His main research area is on the structure-function relationships ofnitrogen metabolism-related enzymes. The current work focuses on the enzymes in urea cycle and arginine biosynthetic pathway. Research in Dr. Shi’s laboratory integrates the tools of X-ray crystallography, protein biochemistry and molecular biology into an analysis of the role of enzymes in nitrogen metabolism. By revealing the three-dimensional structures of these enzymes, significant insightsare gained into the influence of deleterious mutations on patients and the catalytic mechanisms used by these important enzymes. Establishing the structural basis of their deleterious effects is of considerable clinical importance, as well as biochemical interest.

Dr. Leng is currently an Assistant Investigator of Beijing institute of Transfusion Medicine. Her research expertise is in the fields of post-translational protein modification. Using proteomics technology, she identified 175 proteins with high confidence as FATylated candidates. To overcome the challenge for FATylated site identification, a total of 13 modified sites were identified for the first time by a modified search of the raw MS data. They also developed UblSearch as a useful tool for ubiquitin-like-conjugated sites with large residual peptides. The research should be very useful for investigating the biological functions of ubiquitin-like proteins FAT10. Dr. leng is also interested in stem cell biology, and her currently research is try to bring stem cell biology and proteomics together to effectively address common goals. She is in charging of Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and participating in a number of national key projects.

My research has focused on applications of Genomics and Proteomics in diagnostics. Specifically, I employed two dimensional electrophoresis couple with MS/MS for the analysis of purified and membrane protein. The major focus of my research is the development and application of proteomics technologies to the understanding the progression of cancer through the analysis of whole proteomes or enriched protein complexes. During my research work I applied proteomics to study hepatocellular carcinoma and developing methods for identifying tumour markers. Subsequently, in the laboratory of Prof. Dr. M.Ataur Rahman at KIBGE, I developed methods for the proteomic analysis of normal human liver and carcinoma sample along with HepG2 cell lines. Establishing large scale relative protein quantification and S-nitrosylation site mapping. During this time, I also developed the workflow, initially for the sensitive detection of post-translational modifications, including phosphorylation and S-nitrosylation. This workflow was extended to include relative and 'absolute' quantification of post-translational modification levels between samples, and is a useful precursor for the sensitive detection of any peptide, particularly in establishing assays for biomarker validation workflows.
In addition, I was worked on bioinformatics methods to combine and compare protein and gene expression datasets. This led to several publications, describing ANXA4 and CYB5A as molecular marker that involved in progression of cancer. Currently, I am working as Assistant Professor and consultant Molecular Biologist at Dr. Ziauddin University Hospital. The laboratory is primarily focused on analysis of human clinical in order to discover novel targets for therapeutic intervention, to define key pathways in disease progression, and extend these studies into the development and characterization of novel therapeutics for common human conditions.
