Group Introduction
Research Area:
Environment Factors on Developmental Regulation
Research Interests:
The interplay between animal and the environment helped to shape the physiological and developmental program in animals. To better understand this process, we apply a nematode C. elegans model to study the role of several key environmental factors such as nutrient molecule, pheromone and gut bacteria. We are surprised to find those environments play vital roles and fundamentally arbitrate the animal developmental fate and the native immunity Homepage of Zhu Lab:www.zhulab-shanghaitech.com
