陈默，医学院药理学系副教授。2013年于新加坡国立大学（National University of Singapore）获得博士学位，2014-2017年于新加坡国立大学从事博士后研究。2017年-2023年于美国威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校（University of Wisconsin Madison）相继任博士后和专职研究员。2023年4月加入南方科技大学医学院药理学系。主要研究方向为细胞器中脂代谢信号通路的分子机制，包括转脂蛋白、磷酸肌醇代谢、脂质与蛋白质复合体、脂质效应蛋白及相关疾病机理。作为第一/共同第一作者在细胞生物学权威期刊Nature Cell Biology 发表论文三篇, Cell Death & Differentiation发表论文两篇，共发表SCI论文13篇。
本课题组将利用生物化学、细胞生物学、质谱等多种方法来研究脂代谢信号调控、脂质在细胞器之间的运输、脂质与效应蛋白的复合及生物学功能，了解脂质在细胞器中的非膜结构上的定位以及作用机理，解析疾病中的脂代谢功能异常并以此为靶点开发新型药物。
