Character experience

educational background

In February 2008, he graduated from school of chemical engineering, Tianjin University with a doctorate in engineering.

work experience

From January 2011 to now, associate professor of School of life sciences, Capital Normal University, postdoctoral student of Medical College, University of Saskatchewan, Canada, gene port (Hong Kong) Technology Co., Ltd. and Chinese University of Hong Kong engaged in cellulosic ethanol research, senior scientist participated in the research on improving ethanol production of industrial strains of metabolic engineering Saccharomyces cerevisiae (863 Program) from September 2003 to February 2008 The optimized engineering strain "ftg2" obtained a total of 950000 US dollars from American edeniq company for technology license fee and cooperative development funding.

Research direction

In this paper, we reviewed the progress of the research on the molecular mechanism of the degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose, including the metabolic engineering of pentose and hexose in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the production of bioethanol, butanol, diesel and other important bio based chemicals by synthetic biology, and the molecular mechanism of the degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose.
