留學德國獲得神經(jīng)生物學博士學位并在美國NIH從事博士后研究。課題組已承擔10多項國科基金并在PNAS和Science Signaling等知名期刊發(fā)表科研論文30余篇。兼職中國病理生理學會和中國科協(xié)科創(chuàng)。

研究方向：蛋白質(zhì)棕櫚?；揎椀姆肿雍蜕砉δ?/span>

蛋白棕櫚酰化修飾是蛋白質(zhì)翻譯后修飾的一種，在生命活動過程中發(fā)揮著重要的功能。研究表明，S-棕櫚?；揎検莿討B(tài)可逆的脂質(zhì)修飾，廣泛參與了細胞內(nèi)多樣的調(diào)節(jié)作用。實驗室的研究重點是在生命科學的多個領(lǐng)域研究蛋白質(zhì)棕櫚?；揎椀姆肿雍蜕砉δ?，使用ZDHHCs和PPTs的基因敲除小鼠模型來探究這些修飾酶的作用。此外，我們還利用遺傳性疾病小鼠模型來了解神經(jīng)退行性疾病、腫瘤發(fā)生和男性不育等病癥的病理機制，最終的目標是揭示這些機制，并發(fā)現(xiàn)潛在的治療策略，以干預并阻止疾病的進展。
