    Professor, Department of Environmental Science, Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Pollution Processes and Environmental Criteria

    Dr. Luo is the chair of “Environmental pollution process and criteria” the key laboratory of the ministry of education. She received her PhD degree from Nanjing University in 2006 and joined Nankai University the same year. She obtained the foundation of “National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars” in 2015 and she received the award of the thirteenth “Chinese young women scientist award” in 2016. She focused on the occurrence, fate and proliferation of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes in the environment. She found the high occurrence of antibiotics and ARGs in the Haihe River, China, and found that they were closely relate to the over usage of antibiotics in that region. She detected the New Delhi metallo -β- lactamase (NDM-1) gene and its host bacteria named the “superbug” in wastewater treatment plant (WWTPs). She also found several classes of ILs have the ability to enhance the proliferation and replication of ARGs among environmental bacteria. Dr. Luo has published more than 90 peer-reviewed papers on environmental dissemination of antimicrobial resistance. 13 peer-reviewed papers were published on Environmental Science & Technology (Letters), Water Research. Her research works have been cited by Nature, Science and other high quality journals over 3500 times. Seven of her publications have been selected in the field of ecological environment ESI highly cited papers.
