My laboratory research focuses on avian functional genomics, host-pathogen interaction, and utilization of local poultry resources. We currently work on the molecular and cellular mechanism of the host response to Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella infection in Chicken. Our studies concentrate on the identification of genes, microRNAs, lncRNAs associated with the foodborne pathogen of Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella, and construction of the interaction network among those types of regulators. Another project in our group is to study the mechanism of muscle development in chicken.

Research Interest: Functional genome.
