Ph.D, Associate Professor, and Ph. D Advisor. She obtained her Ph.D. in Plant Sciences from China Agricultural University in 2009. From 2006 to 2007, she was a visiting scholar of the Institute of Botony and Plant Sciences at University of California, Riverside; and she also studied in Queensland University of Technology as a visiting scholar in 2013. Since 2009, she works in the School of Life Sciences at Fudan University as lecturer and associate professor in turn.   

 

Research Interests

Mainly focuses on plant male reproductive development, including molecular mechanisms and environmental responses regulating male sterility using molecular genetic, cell biology, genomic, proteomic, and bioinformatic strategies.
