Education

Ph.D.    Biology, Department of Biological Sciences,The University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, May 2005

M.S.      Biology, Department of Biological Sciences (Plant Physiology),Beijing University,Beijing, China, June 1998

B.S.       Biology, Department of Biologial Sciences (Plant Physiology),Nanjing University, Nanjing,China, June 1995


Experience

1. I have been working on varieties of microscopies, including confocal microscopy, two photon microscopy, transmitted light microscopy, fluorescence microscopy and electron microscopy in past 19 years;

2. I have been a expert in Real-time video imaging, Image processing, Imaging data analysis, use of DIAS (Dynamic Image Analysis System), Metamorph programming and General imaging computer softwares including photoshop, canvas, adobe premier and NIH imaging;Expert in designing Cdc42 biosensor and Fret probes and their application in live animal and plant systems.

3. In my past studies, I have been using different biological techniques,including explore the FACs, basic techniques in molecular biology and animal cell culture, advanced techniques in protein biochemistry including protein immunoprecipitation and pull-down Assay.

4. Currently, my research group is focusing on designing the experimental protocols to explore natural products in different plants and combining the microscopical approaches with bioinformtic approaches to dig out molecular regulatory mechanisms in plant development.
