报告人简介：

Dr. Fu received his BS in Environmental Engineering in 2000 and earned his PhD in Biology in 2004, both at Tsinghua University. He was a postdoctoral fellow first at UC Riverside with Jian-Kang Zhu, and later at the University of Kansas Medical Center with Professor Bao-Ting Zhu. He joined the faculty of Peking University (School of Life Sciences) in 2010, and moved to Fujian Normal University and became a full professor of biochemistry and molecular biology in 2016.

Dr. Fu’s research is focused on the molecular mechanisms underlying antibiotic resistance, persister formation and stress response in bacterial pathogens. His research group has used genomic library screen, random mutagenesis, molecular biology, protein purification, genome sequencing，RNA-seq and so on to study these mechanisms. His long-term goal is to develop new antibacterial peptidess and antibiotic potentiation strategies for combatting antibiotic-resistant/tolerant pathogens.ln addition, Prof. Fu is also interested in the epidemiology of infectious diseases. Recently, he and his colleagues developed a series of approaches for simulating and forecasting the trend and course of the COVID-19 outbreaks in China and worldwide.
