DENG Fei (cont) also commits to engineering of baculovirus-insect cell expression system, development of genetic engineering antigens, vaccines & novel bio-technology. She has published more than 50 papers, and obtained 2 patents.
NOTE: Arthropod (Database ZLS)
CHECK: Patents
ZHANG Bo
Ph.D. Molecular Biology & Virology at IMMB, University of Luebeck, Germany. Principle Investigator at WIV since 2009. Interested in replication mechanisms of positive single-stranded RNA viruses, viral pathogenesis, antiviral therapy & vaccine development.
ZHANG BO (cont) focuses on arthropod-borne flaviviruses (JEV, DENV) & alphavirus (CHIKV). Uses complete reverse genetic system to study functions of viral proteins during viral infection for ZIKV, JEV, DENV2, CHIKV, YFV, EV71 & CA16
NOTE: Arthropod(Database ZLS)
CHECK: 5 patents
WEI Hongping, Principle Investigator & Vice Director of center for Emerging Infectious Diseases of WIV, researches bacteriophages & lysins for treating infections due to multidrug resistant bacteria and rapid microbial detection for more than 10 years.
15 patents.
WEI Hongping (cont) developed novel chimeric lysins including ClyR, 1st lysin able to kill cariogenic Streptococcus mutans & found CBD from lysin PlyV12 attenuates virulence of S. aureus & enhances innate immunity to clear infection

WU Jia, Senior Engineer & biosafety officer at WIV.
In charge of biosafety in BSL-2 & BSL-3 laboratories.
Manages infectious animal experimentation in BSL-3 and BSL-4 labs.
So, he should fucking know if anything happened.

Now WIV NBL-3 Biosafety officer
LIU Bobo, WIVTechnician
animal management & lab technician
Since 2013
lab system documents,
biosafety management of 3 wastes
gas/water/industrial waste
PENG Yun, P4-Assistant Lab Technician for experimental animals (5 yrs)
Good at blood sampling, intragastric administration, injection & anatomy of mice & very familiar with breeding of mice.
Nowadays she is breeding wild animals such as bats & ticks.
NOTE: Arthropods(Database)
From:
https://t.co/Bsd9yO40JP After leaked intel via Miranda Devine (Murdoch hack):
https://t.co/BZ3W1LV3Ru that Zhnegli-Shi altered her database (records of bat viruses transmitted to other wild animals) by deleting keywords:
wildlife
arthropod vectors
Wild animal samples
Deleted:
viral pathogen data
emerging infectious diseases
cross-species infection
Last 3 replaced by:
bat
rodent
virus
wild animal (replaced 10 times with:
"bat & rodent" or "bat & rat"
"cross-species transmission of viruses in wild animals"
Database title changed from:
“Wildlife-borne viral pathogen database” to
“Bat & rodent-borne viral pathogen database”
"If WIV found missing link between RaTG13 & SARS-CoV-2 from animal vector, it would be in Shi’s database”
