Biography
Chen hang, Ph.D., Professor, doctoral supervisor. I have been engaged in the research on the genetic evolution of forest insects and fungi for 19 years. I have established the specimen library of fungal diversity in southwest China and collected more than 12,000 specimens. I have conducted cooperative research with 20 countries including the United Kingdom and New Zealand and made important contributions in the field of fungal and insect diversity on molecular evolution. I innovated the basic theory and method of the molecular mechanism of the formation of economic products of resource insects, broke through the key technologies of exogenous hormones regulating insect development and gene regulating tannin enrichment in gall, and constructed the engineering technology system of insect bionic structure, which strongly promoted the rapid development of forest insect and microbial industry in China. So far 55 academic papers (29 SCI papers) have been published and 5 national invention patents and 2 utility model patents have been authorized. I won a second award of national prize for progress in science and technology, a first award of provincial prize for progress in science and technology, a second award of provincial prize for natural sciences. I has presided more than 10 grands such as the youth and general programs of national natural science foundation of China (NSFC), National Program for Special Support of Eminent Professionals etc.
Research Interest
1. Reveal the origin, evolutionary history and geographical distribution of specific groups of insects through analysis of genomics, transcriptomics and morphology.
2. Analyze the formation mechanism of resource insect products, and the causes of genetic diversity and evolutionary rules.
3. Combining proteomics, RNAi, genome editing and other new technologies to reveal the mutual adaptation and co-evolution mechanism between insects and host plants from the perspectives of genetics, phenotype and physiology.
