以人体重要寄生病原泡球蚴为研究模型，探究宿主-寄生虫间的互作关系，分析宿主因子介导的相关信号通路在寄生虫生长发育过程中的作用；泡球蚴成体干细胞自我更新、多能性维持和细胞特化的机制以及宿主因子对其影响。
We utilize E. multilocularis, one of the most important human helminthic pathogens, as the experimental model to investigate the roles of host factor-mediated signaling pathways in parasite’s growth and development. We are particularly interested in the contributions of host factors to the self-renewal, pluripotency maintenance and cell specification of E. multilocularis somatic stem cells.
