Jia Rui, Professor, PhD Supervisor, National Young Talent, Outstanding Young Scholar of Shandong University.
He obtained his Ph.D. in Microbiology from Nankai University in June 2013;
In March 2014, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher in Juan Bonifacino's laboratory at the National Institutes of Health in the United States;
In December 2021, he joined the Department of Cell Biology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Shandong University.
His main research areas focus on lysosome function and the regulatory mechanisms of cellular autophagy. He studies the molecular mechanisms of autophagy regulation in multiple aspects, including autophagy signaling pathways, autophagosome-lysosome fusion, lysosomal function regulation, and LC3 protein expression levels. Utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 screening technology, he searches for new autophagy regulatory factors and elucidates the regulatory network of cellular autophagy at the genome-wide level. He has designed and developed CRISPR-Cas9 KO libraries targeting specific cellular pathways to investigate their regulation of cellular autophagy. His research findings are of great significance for systematically understanding the molecular mechanisms of autophagy regulation and have actively explored therapeutic approaches for chronic degenerative neurological diseases. Relevant research results have been published in international renowned academic journals such as Molecular Cell, Autophagy, eLife, etc., as the first author or corresponding author.
