Additional information
Dr. Renjie Jiao, born on the 30th of Jan., 1965 in Jiangsu, graduated from Peking University in 1987, received his Master’s degree in 1991 before employed as a teaching assistant and a lecturer two years later in Peking University. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Institute of Molecular Biology at University of Zurich in 1999. He established his own group in 2004 at the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, where he had been working on Drosophila development, with a central question of what are the mechanisms of cell proliferation and differentiation. Since 2017, Dr. Jiao moved to Sino-French Hoffman Institute, Guangzhou Medical University, where he continues to work on Drosophila, aiming to construct a genome-wide Drosophila mutant library with the CRISPR/Cas9 system, in addition to the scientific research projects in his own lab.
Prof. Caixia Gao is Principal Investigator of the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB), Chinese Academy of Sciences. Prior to joining IGDB in 2009, she served as Research Scientist (Plant Genetic Transformation) of DLF-Trifolium’s biotechnology group in Denmark. Dr. Gao completed her Ph.D. in Plant Genetics from China Agricultural University, Beijing, and her M.Sc. and B.S. degrees in Agronomy from Gansu Agricultural University, Lanzhou. Her extensive research and professional experience has been in plant genome engineering, crop molecular breeding and plant genetic transformation.
