Brief Introduction

As a professor and doctoral supervisor, my study direction is microbial resources mining and detection techniques development for food safety microorganisms. Research work at present time focus on finding new bacteriocin and extracellular polysaccharide of lactic acid bacteria origin. The study will be devoted to food biological preservatives, probiotics and prebiotics product development. A total of 16 research projects from Natural Science Foundation of China, National Sci-tech Support Plan, and Tianjin Science and Technology Support Plan etc are completed or in progress. Four books including Hemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 and one textbook Food Safety were published. More than 40 SCI retrieval papers and 70 Chinese core journal papers were published as the first or corresponding author. A total of 8 provincial and ministerial scientific and technological achievement awards were acquired.
