Brief bio:

It’s my honor to be admitted to the Research Center of Chinese Herbal Resource Science and Engineering of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine in 2019. Under the supervision of Dr. Dongming Ma, we focus on the understanding of biosynthetic pathways of medicinal plants. During my master’s degree, I worked on the flavone rutinosides of the biosynthetic pathway in Chrysanthemum. My research not only shed light on the characterization of flavone rhamnosyltransferase but also illuminate the glycosylation step of flavone rutinosides biosynthesis. I hope these findings will provide a genetic element for the future study on the metabolic engineering of flavonoid rutinosides in Chrysanthemum and its application in synthetic biology.

个人简介：

本人有幸于2019年考入广州中医药大学中药资源科学与工程研究中心，在马东明老师指导下开展科研工作，聚焦于药用植物生物合成路径解析。在硕士研究生期间，我对菊属植物黄酮芸香糖苷生物合成路径进行研究，解析了菊属植物黄酮芸香糖苷生物合成的关键鼠李糖基转移酶，完善了黄酮芸香糖苷生物合成的糖基化步骤。我希望该研究为今后菊属植物中黄酮芸香糖苷代谢工程研究及其合成生物学的应用提供了基因元件。
