Meet the WISH-ROOTS  Consortium

Current Position: Principal investigator, IGDB, Chinese Academic of Science  

Education: ​Dr. nat. Biology, University of Cologne, Germany

Hobbies: Running, reading, teaching

Bio: I received my Ph.D from University of Cologne for Arabidopsis trichome development in the lab of Professor Martin Hulskamp in 2010. From 2011 to 2016, I did a Postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in the lab of Professor Paul Schulze-Lefert. There, I worked on the high-throughput bacterial isolation and reconstitution of Arabidopsis root microbiota. In May 2016, I built up my research group in Beijing on the function and mechanism of plant-microbiome interactions.

​

Role: My role in the WISH-ROOTS project is to assist the root microbiome related work, including field trails in China, data analysis, microbial cultivation, and functional validation. 

Current Position: Guest scholar at Institute of Genetics and developmental Biology, Chinese Academic of Science.

Hobbies: Running, swimming

Bio: I am working on the nutrient uptake, transfer and distribution of wheat from root to shoot. Also, I want to explore the effect on wheat nutrient with plant-microbiome interactions 

​

Role: My role in the WISH-ROOTS project is assist in preparation and field trails.
