Education 1999-2003, B.Sc., School of Life Science, Northwest University (Xi'an); 2003-2009, Ph.D., School of Life Sciences, Xiamen University; 2006-2007, Utah State University，exchange scholar. Research Area We utilize E. multilocularis, one of the most important human helminthic pathogens, as the experimental model to investigate the impacts of host factors on the parasite’s growth and development, including the role of host factor-mediated signaling pathways in the parasite’s growth and development, and the contributions of host derived factors to E. multilocularis germinative cell self-renewal and pluripotency maintenance.
