About Jixiu Shan
I earned my Ph.D. from the Chinese Academy of Sciences by studying the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms of photosynthesis. I moved in the United States and studied the protein structure and function as a postdoctoral fellow in Kansas State University. Later I joined Dr. Thomas Yang’s Laboratory in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (UF College of Medicine) and studied the genetic and epigenetic molecular mechanisms of mammalian gene imprinting. To continue my endeavor in the study of the molecular mechanism that control mammalian gene expression, I then joined Dr. Michael S. Kilberg’s Laboratory at UF.
I became a member of the Licht laboratory on Aug. 1, 2020. Now I am studying the potential oncogenic functions of histone mutations.
