Brief bio: In 2010, I started my journey of scientific research in Sun Yat-sen University under the supervision of Prof. Jinfa Wang and Prof. Hongbin Wang. During my PhD, I was interested in the study of molecular mechanism involved in the Fe deficiency, using Arabidopsis as a model plant. After I finished my PhD, I got the chance to join Prof. Chao-Feng Huang’s group in Shanghai Center for Plant Stress Biology. We found the important role of ubiquitination and SUMOylation in the regulation of the key Al-resistance transcription factor STOP1. In 2019, I started my new postdoctoral position in Prof. Dirk Inzé and Prof. Hilde Nelissen’s lab at PSB-VIB, focusing on the study of the physiological mechanism of maize in response to drought.

个人简介：2010年，我进入中山大学王金发教授和王宏斌教授课题组攻读博士。在这期间，我专注于拟南芥响应缺铁的分子机制研究。在完成博士阶段的学习后，我有幸加入到上海植物逆境生物学研究中心黄朝锋教授课题组，继续从事植物营养胁迫的相关工作。在对抗铝毒核心转录因子STOP1的研究中我们发现，泛素化和SUMO化修饰对STOP1的功能中具有重要的调节作用。2019年底，我在根特大学VIB植物系统生物学中心开始了新的博士后工作，我的研究对象由拟南芥转为玉米，主要开展玉米抗旱生理机制的相关研究。
