He received his Bachelor degree in bioengineering at 2006 and Ph.D. in biochemical engineering at 2011 from East China University of Science and Technology. He worked as a joint Ph.D. student in School of Chemistry, University of Bristol, UK during 2009-2010. His research focus is on microbial physiological analysis and bioprocess design for novel drug candidate production from fungi; reconstruction of biosynthetic pathways in synthetic heterologous hosts (P. pastoris, E. coli, A. oryzae) to produce bioactive compounds; Transcription regulation studies to rewire the heterologous hosts for bioactive compounds synthesis. He has published 34 research articles and applied 10 Chinese invention patents.
