Guanwang Shen holds a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Southwest University, China, and is currently an associate researcher at the Biological Science Research Center, Southwest University. His research centers on the identification and functional characterization of Bombyx mori genes, specifically focusing on the molecular regulation of nutrient partitioning and energy metabolism during the larva-to-pupa metamorphosis in the Bombyx mori. Concurrently, he investigates the genetic basis of mulberry-leaf preferences in this species and employs genome-editing and transgenic strategies to engineer silkworm germplasm with enhanced adaptability to artificial diets.
