I am Jiannan Zhang (张剑南), an Associate Professor in the College of Life Sciences at Sichuan University, conducting my research as a member of Professor Yajun Wang’s laboratory.
My research interests are centered around Avian Physiology, Endocrinology and Metabolism, with a focus on understanding the mechanisms that regulate growth, development, and reproduction in chickens. I am particularly interested in exploring the role of hormones in modulating these processes and have conducted studies on the hormonal regulation of feed intake, nutrient utilization, and energy metabolism.
In addition to my work in avian physiology, I am also engage in the study of Genome Editing in chickens. I aim to develop new tools and technologies to improve the efficiency and precision of genetic modifications in avian species. My ultimate goal is to contribute to a better understanding of avian biology and to develop innovative solutions for improving poultry production and welfare.
PGC-based genome editing has established itself as a robust and versatile platform in poultry science. This review chronicles the technological evolution from early untargeted …
