Brief bio: During my PhD, I was fortunate enough to have a traditional scientific research training in a molecular plant pathology lab under the supervision of professor Weixing Shan. I started my academic career with a project on identifying a collection of Arabidopsis resistant mutants and studying their resistance mechanisms. Later, I expanded my interests to RNA biology and bioinformatics, and explored the function of small RNAs in Oomycete. After completing my PhD, I joined Dr. Jixian Zhai’s lab in 2017 and began to explore the biogenesis and functions of miRNA and siRNA in important crops using CRISPR/Cas9 and high-throughput sequencing technologies. At present, my main goals are to develop and apply Nanopore-based full-length nascent sequencing method and plant single-cell sequencing technology to study the dynamic regulation mechanisms of transcription and splicing in diversity development stages and environment stresses.

教育经历: 西北农林科技大学，博士

个人爱好: 游泳，旅行，阅读

个人简介: 本硕博连读期间，我有幸加入到一个组织良好的传统分子植物病理学实验室，在单卫星教授的指导下进行了较系统的科研训练。在科研生涯的开始阶段，我初步研究了一些拟南芥突变体的抗病机制，但很快发现自己对RNA生物学和生物信息学也有浓厚的兴趣，尝试探索了一类卵菌小RNA的功能。2017年取得博士学位后，我加入到了南方科技大学翟继先博士实验室，先后从事博士后和研究助理教授的工作。在此期间，我们和中国农科院刘斌老师课题组合作，利用CRISPR/Cas9技术制备了一系列大豆的突变体来研究大豆miRNA和siRNA加工机制和调节功能。目前，我主要和同事一起尝试开发和应用基于Nanopore技术的新生RNA全长测序方法以及植物单细胞测序技术，来研究植物不同发育阶段和环境胁迫下转录和剪切的动态调节机制。
