Research Interests

   ·  Disease of poultry. We mainly research the Anatid herpesvirus, as known as duck plague virus or duck enteritis virus.

   ·  Mechanisms of Herpesvirus genome cleavage and packaging. We are studying the process of Anatid Herpesvirus genome cleavage and packaging and we have analyzed the “a sequence” of Anatid herpesvirus genome and found it is cleaved in a special site. We are also interested in the function of proteins involved in the process, such as the terminase complex, portal protein, and the other capsid protein. In addition, CATC, a special component of herpesvirus capsid, is the next aim for us to explore. CATC is an essentially functional hub in the herpesvirus life cycle and is involved in capsid stability, genome packaging, transport of capsid in the cell, and so on.

   ·  Development of vaccine. Duck plague is an acute and contagious fatal disease with high morbidity and mortality in domestic waterfowl and we also develop vaccine to resist the infection of DPV.
