Our research group primarily focuses on investigating the mechanisms of diseases caused by metabolic disorders and aging. We utilize cutting-edge gene editing technologies and integrate high-throughput genetic screening platforms using the model organism C. elegans. By combining various advanced techniques from biochemistry and molecular biology, we employ an interdisciplinary approach to dissect fundamental biological processes such as extracellular matrix remodeling and cellular homeostasis maintenance. Our findings are then applied to understand and intervene in the roles of cellular stress responses and homeostasis maintenance in relevant diseases.
Our results have been published in journals such as Science Advances, Cell Research, Protein & Cell, PNAS, PLoS Genetics, Cell Reports and Cellular Signalling.
Currently, our team is supported by the Shandong Province University Young Innovation Team Project. We also have funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (General Program), the Shandong Provincial Outstanding Youth Fund (Overseas), the Shandong Province Taishan Scholar Young Expert Program, and the Shandong Provincial Natural Science Foundation (Youth Program).
