Research summary
AI-generated

Yuan Pu's research centers on how SARS-CoV-2 infects human cells and how this process can be blocked with drugs, using large-scale screening approaches such as siRNA (gene-silencing) screens, drug repurposing surveys, and metabolic modeling to identify host factors and antiviral targets. Work has appeared in high-profile journals like Nature, Cell, and Molecular Cell, often as part of larger collaborative teams. A few publications outside this core area (e.g., robotics, chemical engineering, AI documentation tools) suggest occasional interdisciplinary or collaborative side projects.

Publication output surged in 2020-2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic, then declined and became more sporadic in subsequent years, with a modest uptick in 2024.
