1. Developing spatiotemporal multi-omics technologies
2. Deciphering gene regulatory network
3. Exploring the pathogenic mechanisms of diseases
The research work centers around the "central dogma" and integrates perse disciplines such as biology, chemistry, and physics to establish sequencing technologies with temporal, spatial, and single-cell resolution. These technologies were used to investigate gene expression regulation and the pathogenic mechanisms of diseases. Specifically, this includes: 1) the development of spatial translatomics technology to reveal subcellular localization, cell cycle, cell type, and brain region-specific translation regulation; 2) the development of spatial transcriptome and protein co-mapping technology to map the pathological profiles of brain tissue in Alzheimer's disease mouse models; 3) the development of spatiotemporal transcriptomics technology to unveil RNA dynamics at the subcellular scale.
