Currently my lab focuses on computational modelling of synergistic drugs, antibody drugs and vaccine design. We have obtained funding supports from three National Key R & D projects, two National 973 projects, 2 NSFC projects, one 863 project, two National Infectious Disease projects, and 3 Shanghai municipal projects, with more than 110 SCI papers published and 3 patents granted.
Prof. Cao acts as the vice chairman of TCM informatics society of Chinese Medicine Association, and the Council member of Shanghai Bioinformatics Society.
