个人简介
雷湧博士于武汉大学获得本科学位,并于2013年获香港中文大学博士学位。博士期间利用基因组编辑技术(ZFNs,TALENs,CRISPR)从事转基因动物模型构建和动物早期胚胎发育研究。作为最早实现动物体内特异基因敲除的研究人员之一,其成果及相关论文成功入选Science 2012年度十大科学突破。2014年赴美国贝勒医学院从事博士后研究,师从著名血液病专家Margaret A. Goodell教授,专注于特异性DNA甲基化编辑和异常的DNA甲基化在白血病早期发病中作用。成功开发出DNA甲基化编辑技术,并实现全球首例小鼠受精卵甲基化编辑。
2020年6月加入香港中文大学(深圳),从事研究衰老过程中表观基因组保真机制的退化对DNA甲基化谱的影响,以及利用DNA甲基化编辑探究表观修饰在跨代遗传中的丢失和重建。在国际高水平期刊Nature Genetics, Genome Biology, Nature Communications, Nucleic Acids Research, PNAS等发表论文多篇。
