Cell Reports Sustainability Publishes Novel Robust Path Analysis Model Developed by ECUST Research Team  

Recently, the research team led by Wan Nianfeng from the School of Pharmacy, ECUST in collaboration with scientists from China, the UK, and Germany, published an original and innovative article titled “Understanding biodiversity effects on trophic interactions with a robust approach to path analysis” in Cell Reports Sustainability, a new sub-journal of Cell.

The article is first authored by Wang Yuquan (Ph.D. candidate, Department of Biostatistics, Fudan University), and the second authored by Shi Dapeng (Ph.D. candidate, Shanghai Mathematics Center, Fudan University) and co-crresponding authored by Wan Nianfeng (East China University of Science and Technology) and Hu Yueqing (Professor, Department of Biostatistics, Fudan University). It is also co-authored by Christoph Scherber (Professor, University of Bonn, Germany) and Ben A. Woodcock (Senior Researcher, UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology). This research was financially supported by the National High-Level Young Talents Program, the Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Action Plan Domestic Collaboration Project, and other funding initiatives.
