On June 30, 2025, Zhang Lujia's research team went to Qiandao Lake in Hangzhou for a two-day and one-night trip. At the beginning of midsummer, the lake and mountains are lush and green. The research team temporarily left the busy laboratory and regained the tacit understanding and warmth of the scientific research team among the blue waves and forest mist. The activity is also a practice for the graduates of the research team, taking the mountains and rivers as the order and heading for the future together.

The latest research results of Professor Zhang Lujia's research group at East China Normal University were published in the internationally renowned journal "ACS Catalysis", with the title "Aqualigase: A Star Enzyme for One-Step Peptide Bond Dehydration Condensation in a Nature Aqueous Phase". This article showcases the latest breakthroughs of the research group in the field of enzyme catalysis, and their graphic abstract was selected as the cover art of the journal, showing the innovative achievements of the research group in the design and application of catalytic enzymes.
