Introduction：
Dr. Fei received his BACHELOR’s degree in Chemical Physics from The University of Science and Technology of China (2005) and his Doctorate in Chemistry from Columbia University (2010). From 2011 to 2015, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
He has been an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Chicago since 2016. So far, he has published many research papers in top journals such as Science, Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Molecular Cell, PNAS and eLife. I was awarded Searle Scholar, NIH Director’s New Innovator Award and other awards.
Research briefs：
The main research focus of the Fei lab is to understand the mechanisms by which RNAs and RNA binding proteins mediate gene expression and regulation in both bacteria and eukaryotes, in three major systems:
(1) The kinetics and the molecular mechanism by which the cis-acting regulatory RNA element (i.e. riboswitch) distinguishes and binds its ligand and controls gene expression in bacteria;
(2) The quantitative impact of stress-induced bacterial sRNAs on different steps of gene expression, including transcription, translation and degradation, as well as the roles of key RNA binding proteins in this regulation process;
(3) The effect of internal RNA modifications on mRNA translation and stability. In addition to the fundamental biological questions, the Fei lab is also interested in the development of new labeling, imaging and data analysis methods.
