RESEARCH

Research Interests:

My research is on the genetics and breeding of marine mollusks. I am interested in on three areas: 1) population genetics studies of oysters; 2) evolutionary genetics of mollusks; 3) functional genomics studies on oysters.

Current Research Projects (recent 10 years):

§ Studies on mating system and sexual selection mechanism of Rapana venosa, National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 31201998), 2013-2015

§ Specific expression genes and their regulatory network of the Pacific oyster in the low-salinity stress response, Promotive research fund for young and middle-aged scientisits of Shandong Province (Grant No. BS2012HZ020), 2012-2014

Honors:

§ 2012, National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award nomination

§ 2011, Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award of Shandong Province
