Work History
R & D Engineer
Molbreeding Biotech. Company
01.2022 - Current
- As an R&D Engineer, I have contributed to the development of three breeding chips: the Tomato GenoBaits 10K SNP Chip, the Tomato Multiplex SNP Chip, and the Peanut GenoBaits 10K SNP Chip. My current work involves the establishment of a Rapid Tomato Breeding Platform, which integrates breeding chip technology, accelerated tomato cultivation, and doubled haploid (DH) selection.
Inventive Supervisor
Suqian University
01.2021 - 01.2023
- As an inventive supervisor, I supervised bachelor students throughout their thesis presentations. Further, I've also taught botany classes and led students through molecular biology experiments like DNA extraction, PCR performance, soil analysis, electrophoresis, and experiment data scoring and analysis.
Molecular Laboratory Director
Greenport Modern Agriculture Company, Co., Ltd
01.2016 - 01.2022
- As Molecular Laboratory Director, I supported breeders in selecting resistant lines and developing molecular functional indicators, including selecting 30 tomato and 40 melon germplasms with multiple disease-resistance genes. I used SSR and InDel markers to analyze seed purity and genetic variation, isolated and identified pathogens, and developed custom DNA/RNA purification kits for plants, bacteria, and fungi.
Research Assistant
