PhD in biology, research associate. The main research area: (1) Study on the molecular mechanisms on the regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis and terpene biosynthesis of bulbous-flower, (2) Innovation and application of the germplasm resource of garden plants. From 2017 to 2020, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher in Plant Biotechnology Research Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Then she joined in School of Design, Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2020. At present, she is in charge of the China Postdoctoral Foundation Program and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). She also participated in the National Transgenic Plant Research and Commercialization Project of China, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the "Synthetic Biology" project of Research and Development Program of theMinistry of Science and Technology of China. She has published more than 10 SCI papers, obtained 4 authorized patents and 1 Australian authorized patent, and applied for 1 PCT.
