I did my PhD both in Shandong University in China and in Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Germany. During my PhD, I was quite interested in how thermophilic archaea are able to fix DNA damage caused by high temperature. I had been probing deeply into the molecular details of homologous recombination repair, which use homologous chromosome as repair template. Then I became a “Dr. Worm” in Anton Gartner lab in University of Dundee in 2011. By using a model animal Caenorhabditis elegans, I focus on proteins involved in meiotic recombination and a novel mechanism to remove chromatin bridges at the end of mitotic division. In 2017, I joined Karim Labib lab in MRC-PPU and still focus on DNA damage repair and DNA replication.
