Prof. Jun He currently works as an associate researcher at the Donghu Experimental Station of Lake Ecosystems, State Key Laboratory of Freshwater Ecology and Biotechnology, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. She obtained a bachelor's degree in bioengineering from the Southwest University of Science and Technology and a Ph.D. (master's and doctoral) in hydrobiology from the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Her research directions are as follows: 1. Monitoring of microcystins and the study of their migration and transformation in the ecosystem; 2. Study of the toxic effects and mechanisms of microcystins on animals and their health risks to humans.
Prof. Jun Chen currently works as a researcher at the Donghu Experimental Station of Lake Ecosystems, State Key Laboratory of Freshwater Ecology and Biotechnology, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. She obtained a bachelor's degree of food science from Huazhong Agricultural University, a master's degree in chemistry from Huazhong Normal University, and a doctoral degree in hydrobiology from the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. She was a visiting scholar at the University of Aberdeen, UK. Her research directions are migration and transformation rules of main secondary metabolites of cyanobacteria in ecosystems and ecological effects and potential impacts on human health. 1. Research on multi-organ toxic effects and mechanisms of microcystins and human health. 2. Study of the changing characteristics of odor substances and their environmental impact factors.
Prof. Ping Xie currently works as a research professor at the Donghu Experimental Station of Lake Ecosystems, State Key Laboratory of Freshwater Ecology and Biotechnology, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He obtained a master's degree in applied entomology from Shishu University, Japan, and a doctorate from Tsukuba University, Japan. He has been committed to the research on the outbreak mechanism and biological control measures of water eutrophication and cyanobacteria blooms. In particular, through systematic and in-depth ecological research, he successfully uncovered the mystery of the disappearance of cyanobacteria blooms in East Lake, Wuhan. He organically combined ecological theory with applied research and creatively proposed a non-classical "biological manipulation" method of directly controlling cyanobacteria blooms with filter-feeding fish.
