Detailed introduction


● Tenured professor, doctoral supervisor, famous expert in stem cell field, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 2024 ISSCR Award of Excellence

● Leading the construction of mouse, human early embryo model. He has published more than 40 papers in Cell, Science, Nature and other magazines as the first author or corresponding author, and has obtained many international patents. The research work has won the top ten breakthroughs in world science in 2017 (human pig chimera gene editing) and the top ten breakthroughs in world science in 2021 (artificial blastocysts)

● Responsible for blastocyst-like technology research and development route.

He has long been engaged in basic and transformation research of pluripotent stem cells. Pluripotent stem cells are powerful tools for development and disease modeling and have promising applications for regenerative medicine and reproductive biology. The team discovered pluripotent stem cells with unique molecular and phenotypic characteristics, expanding the understanding of pluripotency. Pioneered major breakthroughs in xeno-chimeric and stem cell-based embryonic models. Obtaining the world's first human-pig chimera and human-monkey chimera, the first report found that cell competition is one of the barriers to cross-species chimera formation, and constructing the world's first artificial human blastocyst, bovine blastocyst structure and artificial embryo. The first author or corresponding author has published more than 40 papers in Cell, Science, Nature, Cell Stem Cell, Nature Cell Biology and other magazines. The research work has won the top ten breakthroughs in world science in 2017 (human pig chimera) and the top ten breakthroughs in world science in 2021 (artificial human blastocyst). Won "NYSCF-robertson stem cell investigator award", "University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Grossman Investigator Award", "University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Endowed Scholar", "Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) Scholar", 2024 ISSCR Outstanding Young Investigator Award (World Stem Cell Association Outstanding Young Researcher Award, 1 person is selected every year in the world, and 3 people of Asian descent to date).
