Research Interests:
Successful human reproduction requires normal development of oocyte, sperm and early embryos. The abnormality and dysfunction in any of these processes will result in infertility. However, because of various reasons, the mechanistic understanding of human oocyte, fertilization and embryonic development is very limited. We mainly focus on molecular mechanism of physiology and pathophysiology in the development of human oocytes, fertilization and early embryos. Over the past a few years, we focused on investigating genetic reasons of oocyte maturation arrest, fertilization failure and early embryonic arrest (Science, 2023; N Engl J Med, 2016; J Clin Invest, 2023; Science Transl Med, 2019; Am J Hum Genet, 2016/2017/2018/2020, etc). We also strive to elucidate phyiological mechanism regulating human oocyte spindle assembly (Science, 2022; Science, 2024).

By using methodology of medical genetics， cell biology as well as functional genomics, we seek to elucidate the physiological mechanism regulation human oocyte spindle assembly, identify disease-causing mutant genes for abnormality in oocyte maturation, fertilization and embryonic development and figure out corresponding pathological mechanism. These findings contribute to the understanding of human oocyte development and lay the foundation for precision medicine for infertile patients.
