主要研究领域(Research Interests):
主要利用斑马鱼为模式动物,结合分子生物学、细胞生物学、遗传学等技术,研究TGF-β/Nodal、Wnt等重要信号通路在早期胚胎发育及咽部的咽囊、软骨等相关组织器官形成中的功能及分子机理。
We are particularly interested in the roles of TGF-β/Nodal and Wnt signaling pathways during the early embryonic development and the morphogenesis of pharyngeal tissues and related organs such as pharyngeal pouches and Cartilages. Genes mediating Nodal and Wnt signaling in zebrafish embryos are being studied using genetic, biochemical and molecular approaches.
