通信地址:西北大学生命科学学院,西安市太白北路229号,邮编 710069

        1999年毕业于中国科学院植物研究所,获得博士学位。从2000到2015年,分别在波士顿生物医学研究所(Boston Biomedical Research Institute),杜克大学(Duke University)细胞生物学系和北卡大学(University of North Carolina at Chapel hill) 生物学系分别任博士后、副研究员(Research Associate)、研究科学家(Research Scientist)等职位,对细菌细胞骨架和细胞骨架蛋白的结构和功能进行了深入的研究。2015年4月,回到西北大学。主要研究方向是研究细菌骨架蛋白在细菌分裂,染色体分离,质粒复制以及细菌形状维持等重要细菌生理功能中的重要作用及其调控机理。在研究中建立了高灵敏度的以荧光技术为主的细菌细胞骨架蛋白体外聚合的方法,首次对FtsZ等蛋白的聚合—解聚合等的动力学特性进行了精确研究,建立了它们的动力学的模型。这对深入理解细菌细胞分裂的机理,对细菌细胞骨架蛋白的独特特性以及对将来抗细菌新药的筛选等都有重要意义。
