Research

My research focuses on behaviors and impact of antibiotics on the environmental dimension, including microbial degradation of antibiotics under aerobic and anaerobic conditions and distribution of antibiotic resistance determinants (genes and proteins). The model antibiotics I am studying on are sulfonamides, especially sulfamethoxazole which is frequently detected in wastewater treatment plants, surface water and cattle farm. Protein stable isotope probing is the powerful method I am adopting for analysis of antibiotic-degrading bacteria community in soil.

My aim is to provide more information on elimination of antibiotics in the environment and mitigate propagation of antibiotic resistance.
