Research Topic: 

Molecular mechanisms and applications of novel nucleic acid manipulation tool. Currently, it is very inefficient to achieve gene-specific insertion based on the traditional CRISPR system. Therefore, I want to solve structures of the tool in order to understand the molecular mechanisms by cryo-EM, and combine multidisciplinary methods to develop its multi-functional applications.

Research Topic:

I am interested in developing novel genome-editing tools beyond CRISPR-Cas systems. My current research is focused on increasing the editing efficiency of DNA-guided prokaryotic Argonautes in mammalian cells, which will greatly broaden their biotechnological applications.

Research Topic:

I’m focusing on the structural analysis of some new Cas proteins in Class II, type V Cas systems and exploring the evolutionary association between the Cas phylogeny and tertiary structure of the tracrRNA

Research Topic:

To explore the potential of new nucleic acid manipulation tools, I hope to be able to find gene specific insertion methods that are more efficient than the CRISPR system. Currently, R2 reverse transcriptase is being studied in the hope of successfully extracting the target protein and studying its molecular mechanism.
