He graduated from Wuhan University in 1991 and then entered the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He received his master's degree in 1994 and Ph.D. degree in 1997. In 2000, he studied at the University of Alberta in Canada for postdoctoral research, and became a research assistant in 2004.
He is mainly engaged in the research of DNA damage repair, epigenetics and molecular toxicology. He has developed new methods and technologies for highly sensitive DNA modification and discovered N6-methyladenine in higher organisms, marking an original breakthrough in the field of epigenetics. He has published more than 150 SCI papers in international magazines such asCell,Nature,Cell Stem Cell,Mol Cell,Cell Res,J. Am. Chem. Soc.,PNAS,Cell Discovery,Nucleic Acids Research,ES&T, andEHP.
He was awarded the CAS President Special Award (1997), the Special Prize (2015), First Prize (2010 & 2013) and Excellence Award (1998 & 1995) of Science and Technology of China Association for Instrumental Analysis, the First Prize of Outstanding Achievements of the Ministry of Education (2007), and the Excellent Graduate Supervisor Award of the CAS (2012), Excellent Graduate Instructor Award of CAS (2013), Distinguished Scientific Achievement Award of CAS (main contributor) (2013). In 2011, he was supported by the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars.
Currently, he serves as deputy editor-in-chief ofEncyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry, and an editorial board member ofGenomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics (GPB),Analytical Chemistry,DNA Repair,Journal of Separation Science,Environmental Chemistry,SEPU(Chinese Journal of Chromatography), andChinese Journal of Analytical Chemistry. Two of his graduate students won the Special Prize of CAS President Award and CAS Best Doctoral Dissertation Award.
