Address:
Shandong Provincial Universities Key Laboratory for Functional Agricultural Products, School of Agriculture Engineering and Food Science, Shandong University of Technology 266 Xincun Rd, Zhangdian District, Zibo, Shandong, P.R.China
Research Interests:
Generally my research interest is lipid biochemistry and functional lipid biosynthesis. Particularly I am interested in deciphering the key metabolic pathways and signalling pathway involved in lipid metabolism in oleaginous microorganisms. In addition I am also interested in deciphering the link between lipid metabolism and metabolic syndrome and tumorigenesis, and the mechanism of natural bioactive compounds against major metabolic diseases.
