Biography
Prof. Dr. Renjie Jiao, graduated from Peking University in 1987, received Ph.D from the institute of molecular biology at University of Zurich, Switzerland in 1999, appointed professor at the Institute of Biophysics, CAS in 2004. The Jiao lab has been studying cellular mechanisms of Drosophila development since it started in 2004. How cell proliferation and differentiation are controlled are fundamental questions of animal development, and thus understanding of these questions will help to meet challenges of developmental diseases including cancer and aging. Our particular scientific goals are to understand: (i) Regulations at the chromatin level to control cell proliferation and differentiation; (ii) Quality and quantity controls of proteins and pathways that govern cell proliferation and differentiation (iii) genetic methodology development.
