Profile

Wenxin Lv is a winner of the National Outstanding Youth Science Fund (Overseas) Project. She has been engaged in basic and applied research on organic synthesis methodology and drug molecular design for a long time, including glycochemistry, boron chemistry, fluorine chemistry, N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis, free radical reaction, organic small molecule catalysis and drug molecular synthesis, etc. She has made important research achievements in development of new organic synthesis methods. A series of new methods for the efficient construction of valuable small organic molecules have been developed. Her research mainly innovated and integrated relevant advances in chemistry, biology and other fields, and focused on creation of novel sugar pesticide molecules, solving scientific problems such as accurate modification and rapid construction of complex pesticide active molecules with saccharide fragments, and realizing the function improvement or activity change of saccharide pesticide molecules. To develop high efficiency sugar-based novel pesticide and its green synthetic production technology. She has published more than 20 papers in international journals including Chem, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., ACS Catal., Chem. Sci., and so on.
