PROFESSIONAL AND RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
 
1985-1992:    Focusing on teaching Poultry Science and Cattle Science in the Department of Animal Sciences in Beijing Agricultural College, and doing some research work on genetics and breeding of light layers, and on the application of some reproductive techniques (such as embryo transfer, embryo freezing, et al.) for dairy cattles.
 
1993-1997: Focusing on the nuclear transfer of bovine embryos, and production of                    transgenic rabbits and goats. Five transgenic rabbits (Human Insulin like Growth Factor-1, hIGF-1) and two transgenic goats (Bovine β-casein) were identified transgenic positively by Southern Blot Hybridization. Microinjection of foreign genes (such as bovine chamosin and hIGF-1) into bovine IVF (in vitro fertilization) embryos was also conducted. Construction of recombinant plasmids for gene transfer and positive transgenic animals were detected by PCR and Southern Blot Hybridization.
 
1998-2002:     Focusing on the mechanism of murine oocyte maturation by researching on the effects of recombinant human follicle stimulating hormone, recombinant human luteinizing hormone and recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin on the development of murine pre-implantation embryos.
 
2003.1-2005.5: As a postdoctoral research fellow in the Division of Reproductive and Developmental Biology in the Department of Pediatrics of Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN (mentor: S.K. Dey). Focusing on the special field of preimplantation and implantation biology as following:
1). Roles of lipid mediators in ovulation, fertilization and implantation using mutant mice.
2). Ligand-receptor signaling with endocannabinoids in early embryo development and implantation
