Biography

I hold a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)—now reorganized as the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, CAS. Following my doctoral studies, I pursued postdoctoral training in Structural Biology and Molecular Cell Biology at the University of Michigan, USA. Currently, I am a researcher at Jiangsu University, China, where my work focuses on Entomology and Virology, particularly the molecular mechanisms of host-virus interactions. Insects represent the most diverse and abundant group of animals on Earth, comprising over 70% of all known animal species. Their extraordinary diversity positions them as an ideal model system for studying virus-host interactions. By investigating the mechanisms underlying insect-virus interactions, our research not only advances fundamental scientific understanding but also contributes to ecological balance and biodiversity conservation,sustainable agricultural pest management, medical and public health security, and innovations in biotechnology. These studies have profound scientific significance and practical value, bridging basic research with real-world applications.
