人物履历
1995年厦门大学学士， 2004年美国加州大学圣克鲁斯分校(University of California, Santa Cruz)获博士学位，2004至2008年美国斯坦福大学(Stanford University)博士后。2008年任中国科学院遗传与发育生物学研究所研究员，百人计划，博士生导师。
研究方向
人类感知、学习、记忆、思维、情绪均依赖于神经系统正确的信号传导。然而，神经系统信号传导究竟如何发生，是什么机制确保信息传导的连贯性和精确性并不清楚。本实验室立足基础，以秀丽隐杆线虫为模式，综合利用分子生物学，遗传学，活体成像，生物化学等多种研究手段，系统探索神经系统发育的分子机制。主要研究内容包括：轴突定向生长，神经细胞特异性识别，突触形成与稳态调控。
