Brief bio: I have been worked at the Institute of Gene Science and Industrialization for Bamboo and Rattan Resources, ICBR, China, after I finished my Ph.D in forest tree genetics and breeding from Beijing Forestry University. Bamboo plants belong to the Bambusoideae subfamily of the Poaceae grass family. They are characterized by rapid growth and excellent wood quality like perennial woody dicots and have well-developed rhizomes, with buds at the nodes that develop into aboveground hollow culms. Various methods in molecular, cell biology and bioinformatics are motivating further efforts aimed at understanding and improving the molecular mechanisms about tissue differentiation and development, stress responses, and biomass Formation in Bamboo and rattan.

个人简历：

研究生就读于北京林业大学,获得林木遗传育种博士学位。目前在国际竹藤中心（中国，北京）竹藤资源基因科学与基因产业化研究所工作。竹子属于禾本科竹亚科，生长快，材性优良。此外，竹子具有独特的生物学特性，竹鞭上的笋芽出土前连续地进行组织分化，不断进行初生增粗生长；出土后急速地进行细胞伸长，进行高生长；一年内可达成熟茎秆高度，三年内可成材。未来，包括分子生物学、细胞生物学、生物信息学等技术和方法正在被运用到竹子的研究中来，为竹子以及禾本科其他植物的基础研究和育种实践提供理论依据和技术支撑。
