Man Zhu

Department of Laboratory Medicine, Sichuan University

Dr. Man Zhu is an assistant research fellow in the Department of Laboratory Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University. He received his doctoral degree in medicine from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. His research focuses on aging intervention mechanisms, healthspan regulation, and aging-related diseases, with particular interest in brown adipose tissue dysfunction, skeletal muscle aging, sarcopenia, senescence-associated secretory phenotype, epigenetic remodeling, and topoisomerase-mediated molecular regulation.Dr. Zhu has served as the principal investigator for two research projects, including one supported by the Department of Science and Technology of Sichuan Province and one institutional project supported by West China Hospital. He has published more than 10 SCI-indexed articles, including representative studies published in PNAS, Aging Cell, and ACS Nano. By integrating clinical observations with animal models, cellular experiments, and molecular approaches, his work aims to elucidate key mechanisms of aging and identify potential strategies for delaying aging-related functional decline.

Xue Wen

Department of Plastic and Burn Surgery, Sichuan University

Dr. Xue Wen is an attending physician and postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Plastic and Burn Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China. She received her medical doctorate through the eight-year Clinical Medicine Program at Wuhan University. Her research focuses on environmental health, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, epigenetic regulation, adipose tissue dysfunction, and metabolic diseases.By integrating epidemiological studies, animal models, molecular biology techniques, and epigenomic analyses, Dr. Wen investigates how environmental exposures disrupt metabolic homeostasis and contribute to obesity and other chronic diseases. She has served as the principal investigator for one project funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, one provincial- or ministerial-level project, and one institutional project supported by West China Hospital. She has published in peer-reviewed international journals, including PNAS, Environmental Pollution, Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, and ACS Nano.
