Profession and Job Description

        Mainly engaged in chelonians genome sequencing and functional gene mining and validation research. presided over one general project of Hainan Provincial Department of Education, and one scientific research initiation fund for professors (PhD) of Hainan Normal University. Published 5 academic papers in Frontiers in Genetics, Biochemical Genetics, Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics as the first author and corresponding author. Applied for 5 national invention patents as the first inventor (second inventor during his postgraduate studies), of which 4 have been granted.

 Research Direction: Exploitation and validation of genome sequencing and functional genes of chelonians: Chelonians are the oldest and most specialised group of extant reptiles, evolving the carapace and plastron structure unique to the entire animalia. Currently, less than ten species of chelonians in the world have had their genomes sequenced, and the lack of chelonian gene sequences has greatly constrained the progress of research on the origin, evolution, ecological adaptations, and gene functions of chelonian species. The abundant germplasm resources of chelonians in Hainan Province and the construction of the South China Sea Biological Germplasm Resource Bank project provide a solid foundation for obtaining multi-omics data of chelonians.

Assisted Prof. Wang Jichao, a member of the team, to conduct genomic sequencing of different chelonians, with a goal of establishing a data base for scientific issues related to chelonians.
