簡(jiǎn)歷 & 研究組工作摘要:
1993-1999年:?畢業(yè)于北京大學(xué)植物分子生物學(xué)系研究生,獲博士學(xué)位
1999-2005年:?先后在美國(guó)國(guó)立猶太醫(yī)學(xué)研究中心免疫學(xué)系、冷泉港實(shí)驗(yàn)室以及杜克大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)中心從事博士后及研究助理工作
2005年至今:生物物理所研究組長(zhǎng),研究員
劉迎芳研究員于1999年在北京大學(xué)獲得理學(xué)博士學(xué)位。在美國(guó)的博士后研究期間,主要從事結(jié)構(gòu)生物學(xué)研究,對(duì)一些重要蛋白,例如SarA,SarR,TALL-1及其受體,進(jìn)行結(jié)構(gòu)和功能研究,取得多項(xiàng)重要研究成果。
2005年回國(guó)后加入生物物理所后主要從事于衰老與凋亡相關(guān)蛋白的結(jié)構(gòu)生物學(xué)研究工作。主要內(nèi)容為:1.凋亡細(xì)胞吞噬的分子機(jī)制研究。凋亡細(xì)胞的吞噬主要有兩條相互并行的通路介導(dǎo),一是由CED-1,CED-6,CED-7和CED-14參與的信號(hào)途徑,另一個(gè)是由CED-2,CED-5,CED-12和CED-10介導(dǎo)。我們對(duì)這一通路相關(guān)蛋白開展結(jié)構(gòu)生物學(xué)研究工作,以期揭示這一重要通路中各分子的作用機(jī)制以及通路的調(diào)節(jié)機(jī)制。2.?癌癥相關(guān)蛋白、細(xì)胞衰老及凋亡過程中表觀遺傳學(xué)的結(jié)構(gòu)生物學(xué)研究。主要研究衰老及凋亡過程中染色體修飾的改變以及在基因表達(dá)調(diào)控中的作用,研究癌癥分子機(jī)制。3.?重大傳染病特別是流感病毒聚合酶結(jié)構(gòu)生物學(xué)研究等。
