Education Background
  • Doctor of Molecular Biology and Genetics| Univ. of Alberta| Molecular Biology and Genetics| 2003
  • Master of Molecular Biology| Nankai Univ.| Molecular Biology| 1998
  • Bachelor of Genetics| Nankai Univ.| Genetics| 1995
Research Interests
  • Plant Synthetic Biology Platforms and Cell Factories
    We build platforms using model and food/medicinal plants to advance gene editing, pathway engineering, and synthetic design. The goal is to overcome production bottlenecks for food, medicine, and environmental applications.
  • Functional Foods and Medicinal Plant Innovation
    We harness synthetic biology and green biomanufacturing to produce bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids, and tanshinones. Research links their nutritional, antioxidant, and immune benefits to sustainable functional food and the
  • Synthetic Biology for Environment and Health
    We engineer plant–microbe systems to remediate VOCs, organic pollutants, and heavy metals. Emphasis is placed on detoxification and defense pathways, reducing health risks while restoring ecosystems.
