Ning Lü, associate researcher, Institute of brain sciences, Fudan University. She was graduated from Heilongjiang University of traditional Chinese medicine in 1993 and received the medical doctor's degree from Harbin Medical University in 2003. Then she obtained a postdoctoral training in the Institute of Neurobiology of Fudan University. She had been engaged in teaching and scientific research since 2005. She undertook several funds, including the National Natural Science Foundation of China, “Molecular mechanism of ryanodine-sensitive intracellular calcium stores in sensitization of spinal dorsal cord” (No. 30600178, 2007-2009), “IL-23 / IL-17 axis mediated spinal astrocyte-neuron “cross-talking”：a study on mechanism underlying the central sensitization of neuropathic pain” (81571064, 2016-2019), and participated in the National Program on Key Basic Research Project, “Mechanism of acupuncture analgesia and protection based on clinical practices (2013cb531905, 2013-2017).
