Profile

Research Overview

The main research focus is the photosynthetic carbon fixation mechanism and cell cycle regulation mechanism of marine microalgae, based on which photosynthetic chassis cells are screened and constructed to achieve the development and utilization of unique natural products from marine microalgae. The researcher has led one National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) project and one NSFC Youth project. Additionally, they have participated as a key member in four national key research and development projects and have conducted long-term technical development and collaboration with enterprises.
