I am an early career researcher with about 6-years post-doctoral experiences. I complete my PhD in 2008 at Graduate University of Chinese Academic Sciences (GUCAS) for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. My research to date focuses on cognitive neuroepigenetics using a robust rodent model, with the aim of understanding the molecular underpinnings of fear memory related disorders. After about 1.5 year of non-research working period, I moved to Australia and joined Dr Tim Bredy’s lab at Queensland Brain Institute, to start my research career in cognitive neuroscience. In 2014, I moved to University of California, Irvine, as assistant project scienctist, with Dr Bredy. According to family reason, I decided to back to QBI one year later, and helped Dr Bredy manage the lab during the intermittent times throughout the year when Dr Bredy was not physically present at QBI (2015-2016). In 2017, we form a bigger group with Dr Bredy back to QBI as well, and we are looking forward to contribute more to this field. My area of interest revolves around understanding the epigenetic processes influencing learning and memory and I have very strong expertise in epigenetics and molecular neuroscience. We use a variety of approaches in mice, including in vitro preparations, luciferase assay, chromatin immunoprecipitation, qPCR, lentiviral-mediated gene transfer, CRISPR/Cas9 based tools for neuroscience, FACS technique used for cell-type specific study, high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing, and behavioural paradigms to address the issue of how memories are established and maintained across the lifespan.
