Department of Biology, Nanjing University, Nanjing, P.R. China, 2002
 

SCHOLARSHIP AND AWARDS
Sep. 1998 ~ Sep. 1999    Renmin Scholarship, Nanjing University
Sep. 2002 ~ Dec. 2006    Postgraduate studentship, HKU
 
 
EXTRACURRICULUM ACTIVITY
Jan. 2003 ~ Oct. 2003 I was the associate captain of the soccer team of Postgraduate Student Association of HKU.
 
Mar. 2003 ~ Oct. 2003 I was a member of the Executive Council of Postgraduate Student Association during my first year of post-graduate study at HKU. As the Membership Officer, my responsibility was to introduce Postgraduate Student Association to all students in HKU, organize several major activities and recruit new members.
 
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Jan. 2007 ~now
HKU, Hong Kong, P.R.China
 
Feb. 2006 ~Dec. 2006
HKU, Hong Kong, P.R.China.
 
Jan. 2004 ~ Jan. 2006
Arizona State Univ. (ASU), Tempe, AZ, USA
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Mar. 2003 ~ Dec., 2003
HKU.
I worked as a Post-doctoral Research Assistant I on the glucose-induced carotenoid biosynthesis in the green alga, Chlorella zofingiensis.
 
I worked as a teaching assistant in teaching and grading the undergraduate lab practical classes, Fermentation biotechnology and Food Processing and Packaging - freeze drying and spay drying.
 
My research was a collaborative project between HKU and ASU to elucidate the role of carotenoid biosynthesis in response of the green alga, Haematococcus pluvialis to environmental stress conditions. Expression of genes encoding enzymes involved in carotenoid biosynthesis and several other important antioxidative enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and plastid terminal oxidase (PTOX) was monitored by real time reverse transcriptase PCR. Combined with classical physiological and biochemical methods, the rate limiting step in the carotenoid biosynthesis of this organism was identified, and possible role of carotenoid biosynthesis was proposed.
 
I was engaged in studying production of astaxanthin byNeochloris wimmeri, Protosiphon botryoids and Haematococcus pluvialis in flask and batch cultures. The growth and pigment profiles of the three algae were studied under optimal and stressful conditions. Protosiphon botryoids was found to produce highest biomass, while highest content of astaxanthin was produced by Haematococcus pluvialis
Sep. 2002 ~ Feb., 2003
HKU
I was directed to study the growth and pigmentation of microalgae in mixotrophic and heterotrophic cultures, and the relationship between substrate inhibition and maintenance energy. Besides, I worked as a teaching assistant in teaching/grading the undergraduate lab practical classes of Food Technology, and Food Processing and Packaging - Pasteurization of milk.
Sep. 1998 ~ Jun. 2002
Dept. of Biology,
Nanjing University
My bachelor thesis was focused on how dietary of polyunsaturated fatty acids extracted from traditional Chinese plants influenced the learning ability of aged rats.
