Yanran Lu's work touches on biochemistry topics such as cancer-related mechanisms, antibiotic resistance, and the synthesis of bioactive compounds. A key publication describes a chemically modified form of NAD+ (a molecule cells use for energy and signaling) that shows unusually high activity and specificity in modifying proteins through a process called poly-ADP-ribosylation, which is relevant to DNA repair and cancer biology research. Given the limited public data, the scope and current focus of this research program are not fully clear.
Publication output has been low and irregular over the last decade, with small numbers of papers in most years and a gap in 2024.
