Professional Profiles
š Academic Journey š
Embarking on a profound academic expedition, I earned my doctoral degree in medicine from Chongqing Medical University. Presently, I contribute as an associate professor at the esteemed School of Materials Science and Technology, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. My scholarly pursuits expanded during a transformative postdoctoral tenure at the Postdoctoral Workstation of the Eastern Theater Command General Hospital from December 2006 to December 2009.
š International Research Impact š
Focusing on the pressing issue of radioactive nuclide disposal, my research endeavors have left an indelible mark globally. Pioneering principles of biomedical science, our research group achieved a remarkable feat by transforming baker’s yeast into a living radiation-resistant strain (Y-7). This innovative strain not only exhibits outstanding strontium ion removal capability but is also environmentally friendly and non-pathogenic. Through meticulous exploration, we unraveled the intricate pathways involving the Rsn1p protein and L-type calcium ion channels for strontium ion entry into the cells.
š¬ Innovative Solutions and Recognition š
Utilizing Y-7 as a carrier, we introduced magnetic yeast adsorbents, revolutionizing the approach to strontium ion removal. The groundbreaking work has been disseminated through multiple publications in top-tier journals in the field, earning recognition and accolades. Notably, the research has received support from prestigious entities like the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Jiangsu Natural Science Foundation.
šØāš¬ Contribution to Research & Development š±
Diving deeper into the mechanisms of strontium ion bioaccumulation, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology was employed to engineer Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y-7. The successful construction of a RSN1 gene knockout strain (Y-7-rsn1Ī) illuminated the pivotal role of RSN1 in regulating strontium ion adsorption. This work represents a pioneering contribution, supported by a robust foundation of collaborative activities and a cumulative impact factor reflecting the last three impactful years.
