Professor Lyu Aiping is a world-leading scientist in system medicine and aptamer-based translational medicine and drug discovery. He is not only working on basic research that demonstrates novel precision medicine-based therapeutic strategies for rheumatic disease treatment, but also on translational research in collaboration with pharmaceutical industry for the development of novel therapeutic agents. He is the director of the first aptamer R&D platform in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area of China, which has attracted aptamer pharmaceutical industries to establish “Aptamer Drug Valley” in the Hong Kong Science Park. He has developed the world’s first ever osteoblast-targeting nucleic acid aptamer. His first discovery of the therapeutic aptamer targeting Sclerostin loop3 has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by US FDA (DRU-2019-6966) for evaluating the therapeutic potential for promoting bone formation in osteogenesis imperfect. He has also developed the first aptamer-Paclitaxel conjugates, which showcased a precision medicine-based personalized Paclitaxel for targeting specific cancer types, which is currently being developed into anti-cancer therapeutics by a pharmaceutical company.
吕教授提出了使用系统生物学方法鉴定代谢物生物标志物的想法，用于对具有不同临床表现的 RA 患者进行亚型分类。他的临床研究还支持了基于雷公藤 Hook F. 的治疗 RA 的有效疗效，该疗法被中国中西医结合学会推荐为循证临床实践指南。此外，吕教授在上海光华中西医结合医院建立了中国最大的风湿病生物样本库。该生物库帮助他发现了解决来氟米特对血清 C 反应蛋白升高的 RA 患者亚组骨侵蚀作用有限的分子机制。
