Brief bio: I obtained my Master’s degree at the Northwest A&F University, China. During this three-year master’s study, I started my career in molecular biology in plants and got more interested in protein function. Therefore, I joined Dr. Rucha Karnik’s lab in the UK for my PhD in 2017 with support from China Scholarship Council and University of Glasgow. My research focus is centered around the plasma membrane proton pumps which energize osmotic ion transport at the plasma membrane and affect plant growth, stress responses and immunity. I investigate how membrane traffic affects functional regulation of these ion transporters. I find the multi-disciplinary aspects of my research which include biochemistry, cell biology and plant physiology quite exciting.

目前职位：格拉斯哥大学，分子、细胞和系统生物学研究所，博士生

教育背景：2014.9-2017.6 西北农林科技大学，农学硕士；2010.9-2014.6 湖南农业大学，农学学士

兴趣爱好：动漫，流行音乐，岭南文化和科学宣传

个人简介：本人在西北农林科技大学获得硕士学位。三年的硕士学习中，我开始了植物分子生物学的研究生涯，并且对蛋白的功能愈发感兴趣。因此，在获得了公派攻读博士学位的机会下，我于2017年进入了Rucha Karnik博士的实验室。细胞膜氢离子转运蛋白能够提供离子跨膜运输的动力，同时对植物的生长，逆境响应和免疫反应产生影响。我的研究围绕氢离子转运蛋白，探究其在胞内的运输对其功能的影响。研究中所涉及的综合知识，包括生物化学，细胞生物学和植物生理学令我受益匪浅。
