Brief bio: Inspired by the beauty of the dynamics of cellulose synthesis complex while working with Dr. Tobias Baskin and Dr. Lori Goldner at Massachusetts University in Amherst, I started to wonder what are the destinies of the plasma membrane-localized protein, and how this is modulated. That brought me to work with Dr. Eugenia (Jenny) Russinova at PSB-VIB, where I indulged myself in exploring the unsolved mechanisms underlying endocytosis in plant kingdom using BRI1, the famous receptor kinase, as a model. I now am working in Dr. Libo Shan lab deciphering the link between some novel receptor-like kinase signaling and innate immunity.

个人简介：在与马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校的Tobias Baskin和Lori Goldner博士一起工作时，受到纤维素合成复合物动力学之美的启发，我开始思索质膜定位蛋白的命运是什么，以及它是如何被调节的。这是我在PSB-VIB的Eugenia（Jenny）Russinova博士实验室开展工作的契机。在Jenny实验室，我以油菜素内酯受体BRI1作为模型探索了膜受体内吞作用的未知机制。我目前在单立波博士实验室工作，研究一些新型受体样激酶信号传导与先天免疫之间的联系。
