Current Position: Lecturer, College of Agriculture, Yangzhou University

Education: Ph.D. in Genetics, Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences

Non-scientific Interests: badminton, computer game, cooking

Brief bio: I majored in biotechnology at Jinan University during undergraduate course. During master program, I started the research on rice functional genomics at Nanjing Agricultural University. My work for PhD at IGDB, supervised by professor Zhukuan Cheng, involved meiotic caryokinesis and meiotic cytokinesis. I studied the function of proteins related to DSB repair process in meiotic caryokinesis research and DCM1, a zinc finger protein, in meiotic cytokinesis research. After graduation, I got a position at Agricultural College of Yangzhou University and continued my research on rice functional genomics. Scientific research is a poetic life. I hope I can read more beautiful rhymes in my research work hereafter.

自我介绍：我本科就读于济南大学生物技术专业。硕士阶段在南京农业大学作物遗传与种质创新国家重点实验室开始开展水稻功能基因组学研究。博士考入中科院遗传发育所，师从程祝宽研究员，主要开展了水稻减数核分裂及减数胞质分裂的相关研究。减数核分裂研究主要围绕水稻减数分裂DSB修复相关蛋白的功能展开。减数胞质分裂主要是研究锌指蛋白DCM1及其互作蛋白在花粉母细胞细胞质分裂过程中的功能。博士毕业后入职扬州大学农学院，继续开展了减数分裂相关研究及其他水稻功能基因组学研究。科研是诗意的生活，希望在今后的研究工作中可以阅读到更美的韵脚。
