Biography
Male, born in 1972, Ph.D. In 1993 by the East China Normal UniversityBachelor of biology; In 1996 by East China Normal University plant physiology master degree; In 1996-2001, Jiangsu Province Academy of Agricultural Sciences assistant researcher; In 2004 by the Chinese Academy of Sciences Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences Plant Physiology and Ecology PhD Bachelor of Science. Postdoctoral fellowship from Maple Plant Breeding Institute in Germany from 2005 to 2013; returned to China in April 2013 to be employed as a youth researcher at School of Life Sciences, Fudan University.
Research Interest
Taking the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and important crops of rice, corn and soybean as materials, combined with various methods such as population genetics, classical genetics, molecular biology, genomics, bioinformatics and deep sequencing, cloned and controlled important traits (Plant type, yield and quality, etc.) of functional genes (or QTL) and in-depth biological functions, in order to clarify the relevant molecular traits of molecular regulation and provide the theoretical basis for molecular breeding.
