Brief bio: I first got in touch with the interaction between plants and oomycetes when I was a junior. I was fascinated by the sophisticated plant immune system and decided to go further in this field. My research interests include pathogen effectors and the compatible interaction between Phytophthora pathogens and host plants. I’m currently working on the role of the RNA editing in mitochondria and chloroplasts in plant immunity.

个人简历：在本科二年级时，我有幸加入单卫星老师的实验室进行科研训练并对植物-卵菌互作机制产生了浓厚的兴趣，在老师的指导下进行了疫霉菌效应蛋白靶标的相关研究。目前继续在单老师实验室攻读博士学位，开展植物与疫霉菌亲和互作机制的研究，主要关注植物线粒体和叶绿体中RNA编辑现象在植物免疫中的作用，希望在以后的工作中能够有更多有趣的发现。
