Efficient biosynthesis of microbial drugs has become the research frontier and focus of synthetic biology. As an important enabling technology, gene editing is a research hotspot. I have been committed to theoretical and technological innovation in this field and made important achievements. The breakthrough direct cloning technology was developed to efficiently capture >100kb target gene clusters from microbial chromosomes. An innovative DNA assembly method was developed to efficiently stitch >13 gene fragments, which facilitated establishing the multi-operon artificial gene cluster strategy for refactoring large and complex pathways. The seamless mutagenesis technology was developed to precisely modify the core skeleton structure of polyketides. A high-throughput technology platform was established for direct cloning and transfer of gene clusters. Based on these innovative gene editing methods, compatibility of the polyketide drug spinosad biosynthetic pathway to the chassis host was significantly improved. Furthermore, an artificial polyketide synthase was created to synthesize the new drug butenyl-spinosyns. As the first / corresponding author, I have published 16 papers in scientific journals including Nat Protoc, Nucleic Acids Res (3 papers) and ACS Synth Biol. The research in my group focuses on development of gene editing methods and their application in efficient biosynthesis / derivatization of natural product drugs.
