Biography
Professor Tianbao Chen, PhD, is a Professor at Queen's University Belfast, United Kingdom, where he conducts research in natural drug discovery with a focus on bioactive peptides derived from amphibian skin secretions. He received his doctoral training at Ulster University and has been recognized for his outstanding contributions to innovation in natural drug discovery, receiving the Cardiovascular Innovation Award at the Medical Futures Innovation Awards in London in September 2011. His research has yielded significant findings in antimicrobial and anticancer peptides, exemplified by his most-cited publication on Dermaseptin-PH from the South American orange-legged leaf frog (2017, cited 72 times). With over 76 indexed publications, Professor Chen has established himself as a leading researcher in the field of biomedical science and natural product therapeutics.
