 Brief bio: I entered the Li Lab to conduct my thesis when I was a senior undergraduate student. Since then, I have been interested in cell signaling transduction related research in plants. I was very lucky to obtain an opportunity to continue my graduate education under the supervision of Professor Jia Li after I finished my bachelor degree in biology. Our group is interested in investigating mechanisms regulating brassinosteroid signal transduction and homeostasis. Recently, we revealed the molecular mechanisms of brassinosteroids and jasmonates in antagonistically regulating Arabidopsis apical hook development. I will continue to screen and identify new regulatory components in controlling brassinosteroid homeostasis.

个人简介：我大学四年级进入黎家老师实验室完成毕业论文设计，从此开始对植物细胞信号转导产生浓厚兴趣。本科毕业后有幸继续深造，师从黎家教授。实验室长期从事油菜素甾醇信号转导及稳态调控的研究工作，我们的最新研究揭示了茉莉素抑制油菜素甾醇调控拟南芥顶端弯钩发育的分子机制。未来我将继续挖掘调控油菜素甾醇稳态的新元件。
