个人简介
2013年获得英国爱丁堡大学分子植物学博士学位;2014至2024年先后在英国爱丁堡大学、新加坡国立大学及荷兰拉德堡德大学从事博士后研究;2025年1月入职山东农业大学。
研究方向
主要利用植物根系为模型,研究植物细胞命运调控的分子基础及其在植物发育与环境适应中的作用,聚焦以下领域:
植物组织再生分子机理:利用高分辨率活体成像与单细胞组学技术,从单细胞水平揭示植物组织再生过程中细胞命运重编程的动态变化及及其分子调控网络;
植物单细胞技术应用:构建植物根系高分辨率单细胞图谱并建立Root Cell Atlas数据库;探索植物单细胞分离、组学测序及多维数据整合的新方法,推动单细胞技术在植物器官发育、逆境适应和作物遗传改良等领域的应用;
DNA内复制的进化起源及调控机制:解析DNA内复制在植物发育、细胞多倍化及抗逆反应中的作用机制。
科研成果
主要在植物根系发育、组织再生、植物单细胞组学等研究领域开展工作,相关研究成果发表在Cell、Developmental Cell、Molecular Plant等国际期刊。
