Profile

Yu Yunsong, PHD; PhD Candidate Supervisor
Assistant Dean of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University
Director Department of Infectious Diseases, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University

Research fields:
1. Diagnosis and therapy of infectious diseases
2. Resistant mechanism of bacteria and
3. Rational use of antimicrobial agents
Prof Yu is mainly engaged in the research on the surveillance of bacterial resistance, the mechanism of bacterial resistance and the treatment of the infections caused by multi-resistant bacteria. His work is supported by the grants from 973 projects, 863 projects, and the National Nature Science Foundations of China (NNSF). He won the second national prize for progress in science and technology in 2007and got the first and the second prize for progress in science and technology of Zhejiang province in 2003 and 2000.
