AboutI am current Professor and PI of School of Medicine, South China University of Technology. I am serving as the Vice Chairman of the China Zebrafish Society and as a member of the Chinese Association for Blood Science. I earned my Bachelor and PhD from Sun Yat-sen University, completed a post-doctoc at HKUST, and held the position of Professor at Southern Medical University at 2011 and subsequently at South China University of Technology from 2018 till now. My research focuses on the hematopoietic regulation, primarily using zebrafish as a model system. By utilizing hematopoietic-deficient mutants acquired through forward and reverse genetics, I am interested in uncovering novel biological mechanisms underlying hematopoietic regulation, and in establishing related blood disease models for pathological and translational studies.

Social PositionI served as the vice chairman of the China Zebrafish Society and as a member of the Chinese Association for Blood Science. I supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, such as the excellent youth fund and the general fund. ResearchWe mainly utilize zebrafish as a model and takes developmental biology as the core to focus on the hematopoietic regulation mechanism. Utilizing hematopoietic-deficient zebrafish mutants obtained by forward and reverse genetics, we unveiled some new biological mechanisms of hematopoietic regulation, and established several blood disease models for pathological and translational study.
