研究领域

1）Hedgehog（Hh）信号通路调节与人类疾病
信号转导就是各类信号包括分子信号或外源刺激信号等通过细胞膜或细胞内信使分子介导，最终引起核内靶基因表达改变的过程。
Hedgehog (Hh)信号通路在正常的胚胎发育中起到关键作用,它的功能障碍可能引发多种人类疾病和肿瘤,其中就包括皮肤癌(基底细胞癌BCC) 、脑癌、肺癌、前列腺癌、胰腺癌和其它消化道器官癌。因此,Hh信号通路的研究对基础科学和临床科学非常重要。
Hh通路在不同物种间是保守的，本实验室主要以果蝇为模式动物，运用遗传学,生物化学及分子生物学手段研究Hh信号通路是如何调节的。通过研究寻找特异性的调节Hh信号通路的分子靶点，为研发相关的抗肿瘤新药提供理论依据。
2）线粒体功能异常与人类疾病
线粒体在能量代谢、自由基产生、衰老、细胞凋亡中起重要作用。线粒体相关基因突变，呼吸链缺陷，线粒体膜的改变等因素均会影响整个细胞的正常功能，从而导致病变。许多研究表明，线粒体功能异常与帕金森氏症，阿尔兹海默病，糖尿病，肿瘤等疾病的发生发展过程密切相关。
本实验室利用果蝇为模式动物，筛选线粒体功能必需相关基因，并研究其维持线粒体正常功能的分子机制，为揭示线粒体功能异常相关疾病（如帕金森氏症）的病因提供新线索。"为以果蝇为模式动物， 运用遗传学
