Synopsis
Dr. Cheng Jin has been focusing on investigation of the biosynthesis and function of microbial cell wall. His reearch fields include: i) biosynthesis and function of fungal cell wall glycoprotein and polysaccharide of fungal pathogens; ii) biosynthesis and function of extracellular polysaccharide of baterial pathogens; iii) Expression of glycoprotein in fungal cells; and iv) biosynthesis and function of surface glycans in archaea. More than 90 papers and 2 books were published.
Dr. Jin currently serves as Member of the Steering Committee of the Asian Consortium of Glycoscience and Glycotechnology, Associate Editor-in-Chief of Microbiology China, and members of Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Biotechnology and Mycosystema.
