科研方向
细菌和古菌无时无刻不面临着病毒和质粒等外源遗传物质的入侵,为了应对这些威胁,它们进化出了各种各样的免疫系统。其中,获得性免疫系统具备序列特异性的核酸识别、切割功能,例如CRISPR-Cas9,从而被广泛应用于基因编辑、基因表达调控、核酸检测等领域。本课题组的研究方向包括(1)解析微生物免疫系统(包括CRISPR-Cas和argonaute等)应对病毒和质粒入侵的机制;(2)开发基于微生物免疫系统的应用技术。
欢迎对微生物免疫感兴趣的本科生、研究生加盟本课题组学习或继续深造。同时,本实验室招聘科研助理,博士后若干名,欢迎有志于科学研究的青年英才来信交流(hanwenyuan@mail.hzau.edu.cn)
