研究兴趣

1. 研究领域涉及化学生物学、核酸化学和生物学、遗传学、细胞生物学、生物无机化学、 结构生物学、微生物学以及基因组学。
2. 表征和研究原核生物及真核生物中DNA及RNA去甲基修复酶的结构及性质。
3. 研究和证明多种临床感染性病原体中的全局性调控蛋白的调控机理.
4. 研究和开发小分子药物。
5. 金属蛋白调控机理研究与金属蛋白进化

Our research program spans a broad range of chemical biology, nucleic acid chemistry and biology, epigenetics, cell biology, bioinorganic chemistry, structural biology, microbiology, and genomics. We probe the pathways and mechanisms of nucleic acids modification and demodification. We study virulence and antibiotic resistance regulation in human pathogens. We also study selective metal ion recognition and sensing by naturally occurring and engineered proteins, and live-cell imaging of metal ions and other small molecules such as H2S, heme, and CO.
