Bioelectronic chemistry, in particular the use of electrochemical methods to study biomaterials, utilization of bioelectrode, etc. (Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences)
Emphasis on: (1) opioid receptor and IL-2 downstream signal transduction, gene expression and regulation. I discovered a new gene whose expression was regulated by a selective delta-opioid receptor agonist, DPDPE; (2) IL-2´s analgesic mechanism; I put forward a new idea of "Intergrin" and developed ddPCR to enter this research area; (3) gene therapy for Parkinson´s disease; I participated in research on some steps of it
