TEACHERS

Haimou Zhang

    Mr. Haimou Zhang is professor in School of Life Sciences, Hubei University, China. He got both Medical Bachelor and Master degree in Tongji Medical School in China (year 1989-2007), and a Ph.D degree in University of Ioannina in Greece (year 2000-2004). As a visiting scholar in 2014 he ever worked in the Johns Hopkins University in USA for six months. Prof. Zhang’s research focuses on environmental microbiology and toxicology as follows: 1) Isolation and identification of PAH-degrading bacteria, especially for high-molecular-weight PAHs which are extremely harmful to human health; 2) Research on the adverse effects and mechanisms of environmental factors on human health, such as fluoride and arsenite, especially on how the factors cause dysregulation by means of epigenetic alteration.

Shihui Yang

    Prof. Shihui Yang received Ph.D. degree in microbiology from University of California at Riverside in 2005. He joined Bioenergy Science Center at Oak Ridge National Laboratory as a Research Associate in 2007, and then National Bioenergy Center at National Renewable Energy Laboratory as a staff Scientist in 2011. He joined Hubei University as a professor of Microbiology since 2016, and his research interest focuses on metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, and renewable bioproducts (http://bio.hubu.edu.cn/shihuiyang.htm). He holds 5 patents, published 4 book chapters, and 45 papers in journals such as Nature Biotechnology and PNAS with a citation more than 1700 and H-index of 22. He also serves the scientific community as an editor of international journals such as PLoS ONE, Energies, Frontiers in Microbiology, Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, and Frontiers in Energy Research; and a reviewer for journals like Science, PNAS, PLoS Genetics, and Biotechnology for Biofuels.

Li Yi

    Dr. Li Yi is currently a professor at the Department of Bioengineering, Hubei University. He received Ph.D. degree in Biological Chemistry at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 2010, under the supervision of Prof. Stephen W. Ragsdale. Then he joined the research group of Profs. George Georgiou and Brent L. Iverson at the University of Texas at Austin for his Post-doc work. At there, he was promoted to Research associate and Research fellow before he joined the Hubei University in 2014. Currently, his research group is working on the understanding of protein folding & secretion mechanisms in eukaryotic cells, protease and antibody engineering for industrial and therapeutic applications, and proteins and chemicals production in microbial systems.
