5. Research Experience
2006.4~2009.7
China-UK NYNU-RRES Joint Insect Biology Laboratory, ×××× Normal University
Under the guidance of the Guest Professor ××××, I have received strict and formal training. The main work I did include DNA, RNA extraction, electrophoresis, PCR, Reverse Transcriptase-PCR, culture fruit fly, culture mosquito, bacterium culture, spread plate method and other experiments. At the last term, I participate in one provincial subject and one colonel-level program.
Winter Vacation in 2007
Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Under the guidance of the doctor××××, I learned to do SDS-PAGE, transfection, culture preservation and other experiments.
2009.9~present
National Glycoengineering research center, School of Life science, ××××University
The research was focused on the activity of exopolysaccharide from ××××. Through the separation,extraction, purification, we got two exopolysaccharide(EPS-1, EPS-2). Then, the immunomodulation and anticancer activities of the EPS-1, EPS-2 were studied. The results showed that the EPS-1 was a good immunomodulator. It had performed well in enhancing humoral immunity, cellular immunity, or specific, non-specific immunity. Both of the EPS-1, EPS-2 have anticancer activities. So,the mechanism of apoptosis induced by EPSin K562 cells was studied.
2010.11~2011.9
As an exchange student did research in Department of Pharmacy of ×××× Medical College
