Research Interests

We mainly use Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy (TIRFM) for single molecule fluorescence imaging, such as smFRET and DNA curtains. We aim to use single molecule fluorescence imaging techniques to understand the molecular mechanisms of CRISPR-Cas system and improve CRISPR enzymes’ activities and specifies, to decipher how double-strand breaks (DSBs) are repaired through homologous recombination, to elucidate the defense mechanisms against foreign DNA and DSBs repair mechanisms in non-model organisms and establish gene manipulation systems in non-model organisms, to develop novel tools for whole-genome synthesis.
