SQZ PI(Nov 2020 - Oct 2023)
FDU Professor

Biography

Former Shanghai Qi Zhi Institute PI.

Obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from Northwest University in 2007, a Master's degree from the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2009, and a Ph.D. in Evolutionary Genetics from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany in 2013. Since January 2010, has been in charge of the Ancient DNA platform at the Sino-German Joint Laboratory for Human Evolution and Technological Archaeology at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences; has conducted postdoctoral research at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany and at Harvard Medical School in the United States.

Personal Honors:

Special Award of the China Youth Science and Technology Award, First Class, 2018 Outstanding Young Corresponding Member of Developing Countries, First Class, 2018 HHMI (Howard Hughes Medical Institute) Young Scientist Award, 2017 Young International Partner Award for CAS (Chinese Academy of Sciences) Scientists, 2017 One of the Top Ten Scientific and Technological Innovators in China for the Year 2017 Outstanding Female Scientist Award, 2016 One of the Top Ten Chinese Science Stars, 2016

Research Direction

Primarily engaged in research on evolutionary genetics and population genetics, focusing on the direction of "ancient human genomics research". Based on the extended application and joint development of innovative ancient DNA experimental techniques, deeply explore the origins and evolutionary history of humans and their associated species from a genetic perspective. It clarifies important scientific issues such as the genetic structure, evolutionary process, migration routes, environmental adaptation, and gene exchange with ancient humans of modern Eurasians, especially East Asians.
