Laboratory Positioning

The laboratory is dedicated to advancing global scientific frontiers and safeguarding human health. Driven by fundamental technological innovation, it systematically investigates the development, structure, and function of organisms at multiple levels—from cells, tissues, and organs to entire systems—under both physiological and pathological conditions. The lab aims to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms governing the establishment, maintenance, and disruption of homeostasis in the nervous, circulatory, and reproductive systems. Through synergistic innovation in theory and technology, it develops intervention strategies for major diseases and products for injury repair. By nurturing core talent and pioneering breakthroughs, the lab strives to secure a leading position in integrated physiological regulation.

Research Directions

Developmental Construction and Functional Shaping of Complex Living Systems
Systematically elucidate the dynamic processes governing animal development—from gene regulation and cell fate determination to tissue/organ formation and functional emergence—revealing the molecular mechanisms and regulatory networks underlying organismal morphogenesis.

Homeostatic Maintenance and Environmental Interaction in Complex Living Systems
Investigate the dynamic regulatory mechanisms by which organisms maintain homeostasis in changing environments, focusing on integrated control and adaptive strategies of neuro-immune-metabolic systems.

Homeostatic Disruption and Damage Repair in Complex Living Systems
Identify critical nodes of homeostatic breakdown during disease and aging, and develop novel intervention technologies and repair strategies to bridge mechanistic research and clinical translation.
