Research Field：

Study on the Biodiversity of Fungi in Special Habitats and the Application of Fungi with Important Medicinal Value

Research Interests

1. Study on fungal biodiversity in special habitats: the fungal diversity from special habitats ( such as the Arctic, Antarctic, desert, medicinal plants, etc. ) was mainly studied.

2. Application and development of important medicinal fungi: industrial application and development of filamentous fungi and yeasts in the field of bio-medicine ( e.g., antibacterial activity, bio-transformation, etc. ) were focused.
