Mr. Lv Guangfu | Pharmacology of Traditional Chinese Medicine | Best Researcher Award 

Changchun University of Chinese Medicine | China

Mr. Lv Guangfu holds a Ph.D. in Chinese Materia Medica from Changchun University of Chinese Medicine and brings over a decade of experience in pharmaceutical R&D, specializing in drug screening and mechanistic studies of Chinese herbs for anti-tumor, neurological, and psychiatric diseases, with a particular focus on depression treatment strategies. He currently serves as Associate Vice President of R&D in a pharmaceutical company and has contributed significantly to the secondary development of a leading traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) product, establishing corporate standards and elucidating its mechanism of action, which generated RMB 20 million in profit over three years. He has also participated in preclinical research for a novel TCM drug targeting cerebral ischemia, contributing to both pharmacological and toxicological evaluations. Mr. Lv is the holder of one patent and has collaborated extensively with industry partners, producing over 30 peer-reviewed publications. His work has garnered recognition through five Jilin Provincial Science and Technology Progress Awards, reflecting both academic and practical impact. He actively engages with the professional community as a Council Member of the 2nd Board of Specialty Committee of Manchu Clinical Medicine of the World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies and as a member of the Council of the Chinese Medicine Pharmacology Branch under the China Information Association of Chinese Medicine. His research primarily focuses on drug screening for liver cancer treatment, anti-tumor mechanisms, and depression therapeutics. His studies have attracted significant scholarly attention, earning him an h-index of 12 and more than 420 citations, demonstrating influence in Chinese medicine research and pharmacology. Through his combined industrial and academic contributions, Mr. Lv advances both innovative TCM development and evidence-based mechanistic research. His leadership in projects bridges the gap between traditional medicine and modern pharmaceutical standards, while his publications contribute to global knowledge on herbal pharmacology and drug development.
