My recent research interests focus on the mechanisms underlying host-microbe interactions in physiological and pathological conditions. I received my PhD in 2012 at Sun Yat-sen University studying pathogen biology, then I finished my postdoctoral training in Prof. Tao Pan’s lab at the University of Chicago from 2012 to 2017, I was promoted to be Independent Instructor at the University of Chicago in 2017 after I received the NIH K award. I came back to China and take a full professor position at South China Normal University in 2019. In 2024, I moved to Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health at Chinese Academy of Sciences as a principal investigator. I have published more than 60 papers in Nature Chemical Biology, Genome Research, Cell Research, Cell Reports, Advanced Science, Genome Biology, PLoS Genetics, etc. I am the first or corresponding author in 30 of these publications.
