Research interests
Main interest lies in the chemoreception mechanism of agricultural pests especially with olfactory genes (such as OBPs and ORs) function analysis in peripheral nervous system of insect. Now I am focusing on establishing a conditional knockout system Drosophila suzukii to analyze its chemosensory mechanism and regulatory mechanism.
