Brief bio: I completed my Ph.D. from Sun Yat-sen University (Guangzhou, China) under the supervision of Prof. Jinfa Wang and Prof. Hongbin Wang in 2011, during which my research focus on the molecular mechanism of rice MAPK phosphatase involved in the regulation of stress. After that, I came to the Prof. Mingyong Zhang’s lab in South China Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) as a postdoctoral fellow, engage in the research of rice nutrition physiology. In late 2013, I got the chance to join the Prof. Xingliang Hou’s group in South China Botanical Garden to study the molecular regulation mechanism of the interaction between plants and pathogens, which is a complex and interesting work involving the interaction between two organisms. My work is focused on how plants receive upstream instructions at the molecular level when the pathogens infect them, and then mobilize different protein molecules to form complexes to response the pathogens.

科研经历简介：我于2011年在中山大学王金发教授和王宏斌教授的课题组完成了博士期间的学习，研究方向是水稻MAPK磷酸酶参与逆境胁迫调控的分子机理。毕业后我来到中国科学院华南植物园张明永研究员课题组从事水稻营养生理研究。2013年加入华南植物园侯兴亮研究员团队开始从事植物和病原菌互作分子调控机制的相关研究工作，这是一项复杂而有趣的工作，涉及到两个物种之间的多角度的互作。我的工作兴趣集中在病原菌侵染过程中，植物如何在分子水平接收上游信号指令进而调动不同的蛋白分子形成复合物对病原菌进行应答。
