研究方向
发育和疾病的转录与表观遗传调控
研究工作
哺乳动物的转录中介体（Mediator）是由大约30个蛋白质组成的多蛋白复合体，是介于转录因子与mRNA Polymerase II基础转录机器之间的连接桥梁。不同的转录因子受到环境及发育信号的影响时，就会与Mediator中的某个特定的亚基发生相互作用，促进Polymerase II及通用转录因子（GTFs）在特定基因起始序列上的聚集，并形成预起始复合物(PIC)，从而控制基因表达的水平。
长期专注于转录中介体的分子调控机理及其在发育和疾病中的功能研究。作为通讯作者在Mol Cell，Dev Cell，Genes Dev，EMBO J，Nat Com, PNAS, Cell Reports, Development等杂志发表论文。发现Mediator在mRNA剪切加工、转录延伸、组蛋白修饰、以及DNA损伤修复过程中的非经典功能（Mol Cell，2012；Transcription， 2013；EMBO J，2015；Cell Reports，2017）；首次提出平滑肌与脂肪细胞的“双向调控”及其共同起源（Dev Cell, 2009; Genes Dev, 2012）；发现Mediator不同亚基在胚胎干细胞干性维持及多谱系细胞分化中的不同功能（Development, 2015）；发现转录中介体亚基MED23参与调控间充质干细胞向成骨细胞分化过程，并影响成骨的发育（Nat Commun, 2016）；揭示Mediator作为表观遗传调控因子,调控癌症与肌肉细胞分化之间的拮抗作用（EMBO J, 2015）；多次获邀撰写Mediator通过转录、表观遗传调控决定细胞谱系发育的综述（Development, 2014; WIREs RNA, 2015）；多项工作作为Mol Cell，EMBO J等重要学术期刊的封面文章发表，获同期专评，以及Faculty1000、NatureAsia-AIMBN的亮点评论。
