I am an assistant Professor in the College of Life Sciences at Peking University, and Principal Investigator in Peking-Tsinghua Center for Life Sciences. I received a Ph.D. from Peking University in 2012, and my postdoctoral work was performed at Harvard Medical School. The Du laboratory was established in 2018, the research of which has focused on identification and studying on posttranscriptional RNA regulatory pathways and exploring their biological relevance in mammalian early embryonic development, ESCs and human disease. As well, I am interested in reconstitution of plant unique RNA regulatory pathways in mammalian cells and exploring its potential applications in medicine.
