基本情况
Previously worked as an invited scientist under the Korea National Science Foundation (NRF) and Ministry of Science and Technology funded Brain Pool program at the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB). His main research focus was on the identification of novel components involved in rubber polymerization, reconstitution of known components of the rubber polymerase complex for in vitro synthesis of natural rubber, and on the role of ethylene and auxin in the regulations of genes related to the biosynthesis of plant secondary metabolites and their implementation in the natural rubber polymerase complex. He completed his Ph.D. in Molecular Agrobiology (Crop Genetics and Breeding), from Zhejiang University, followed by postdoctoral training, and subsequently served as an assistant professor at Henan University.
