  简　　历

博士，研究员，博士生导师。2008年毕业于武汉大学生命科学学院获学士学位，2013年于中国科学院昆明动物研究所获遗传学博士学位，同年赴约翰霍普金斯大学医学院利伯脑发育研究所从事博士后研究工作，2016年回昆明动物研究所工作，建立转化基因组学科组。主要从事重性精神疾病及相关人类复杂性状（脑结构、创造力、认知功能等）的遗传学和基因组学研究，致力于寻找影响上述疾病及表型的基因组变异，并探索其在有关细胞功能、神经环路及行为表型等生理学过程中发挥作用的可能机制。在国际上首次描述了精神疾病相关基因组区域10q24.32参与疾病发生的可能机制，鉴定到一个由可变剪接所致并显著增加精神疾病风险的人类特异蛋白（Nature Medicine 2016;22(6):649-656）；创新性的详尽证实了精神疾病中三维基因组的分子调控模式（Biological Psychiatry 2021;89(3):246-255）；此外，率先开展了中国人群中双相情感障碍的系统遗传学分析，为理解我国人群中该疾病的遗传基础提供了重要视角（JAMA Psychiatry 2021）。近年来以通讯或第一作者（含共同）在Nature Medicine、JAMA Psychiatry、Molecular Psychiatry、American Journal of Psychiatry、Biological Psychiatry、Science Bulletin、Schizophrenia Bulletin、British Journal of Psychiatry、Neuropsychopharmacology等期刊发表论文。现任中国神经科学学会精神病学基础与临床分会（CSNP）委员、Functional & Integrative Genomics期刊Section Editor（人类基因组方向）、Scientific Reports期刊学术编辑、Complex Psychiatry期刊编委、Journal of Psychiatry and Brain Science期刊编委。
  研究方向

以双相情感障碍和抑郁症为代表的多种重性精神疾病严重影响了人类健康，患者往往表现出情绪和认知方面的障碍，严重影响正常生活，甚至导致一系列机体疾病发病率和自杀率的升高。累积研究表明遗传因素（如DNA变异、基因等）在精神疾病发生发展中起到了关键作用，但仍有很多核心科学问题有待回答。首先，中国人群中精神疾病遗传基础的研究尚处于初步阶段，仍有许多遗传风险因素有待鉴定；同时，单纯遗传学分析无法直接鉴定真正参与疾病发生的功能性DNA变异或基因，也不足以揭示有关的病理生理机制；此外，精神疾病具有表型上的高度复杂性，特定疾病患者往往存在高度异质性，而不同疾病患者大多又共享部分症状，为针对性诊治带来了难题，因此，系统解析疾病有关表型的遗传决定因素对于深入认识和有效控制疾病也有着重大意义。针对上述科学问题，我们聚焦双相情感障碍和抑郁症等重性精神疾病，致力于系统寻找功能性遗传风险因素，并探索其如何调控易感基因表达及功能，进而改变细胞发育、大脑功能及行为表型。目前的主要研究方向概括如下：

1. 利用遗传学、生物信息学等多组学分析，比较中国人群中精神疾病患者与健康对照个体间遗传背景的差异，鉴定与疾病风险显著相关的DNA变异。

2. 筛选上述精神疾病风险DNA变异中可能产生生物学功能影响的变异，分析它们对基因转录与功能的影响，从而揭示相关分子调控机制，推测其在疾病发生中的作用。

3. 在细胞及模式动物中探讨风险DNA变异和易感基因影响疾病发生的生物学机制，结合其与相关药物的交互作用情况，寻找未来精神疾病新药物与疗法的潜在靶标。
