个人简介

刘晓东，2011年获得澳大利亚莫纳什大学理学荣誉学士学位。2019年获得澳大利亚莫纳什大学博士学位，师从Jose Polo教授。2019-2021年在莫纳什大学和澳洲再生医学研究所从事表观遗传学和重编程相关博士后研究，2021年在英国弗朗西斯·克里克研究所及剑桥大学Kathy Niakan实验室进行基因编辑与人类胚胎发育等方向博士后研究。曾获得Carmela and Carmelo Ridolfo Prize in Stem Cell Research，发现生物医学研究所优秀博士生毕业论文奖，国际干细胞大会科学优秀奖等奖项，并入选英国1851研究奖学金展览皇家委员会和欧洲分子生物学组织 (EMBO) postdoc fellowship。

学术成果及研究方向 

刘晓东实验室的研究主要以应用单细胞测序和表观遗传组学测序等技术揭示了人源体细胞到诱导干细胞(iPSC)重编程过程中的动态细胞命运调控, 利用诱导重编程捕捉了原始多能干细胞，滋养层干细胞等细胞状态 （Nature Methods, 2017; Nature, 2020），并发现了重编程过程中细胞命运的调控机制和首次构建了人源三维类囊胚结构(Nature 2021)。实验室将利用前沿交叉学科技术，如单细胞多组学，时空组学，生物信息学分析和算法开发，干细胞培养和诱导重编程，小鼠，大动物及人胚胎操作，干细胞和胚胎基因编辑，谱系追踪，实时成像/激光片层扫描显微镜, 人工智能，类器官和生物材料工程等进一步了解胚胎和器官发育，诱导重编程，干细胞命运调控和终端功能细胞分化过程中的细胞命运的调控机制，并将研究成果转化到在通用型干细胞疗法，器官培养和移植等再生医学领域的应用，造福患者。欢迎有上述技术背景和研究兴趣的同道加入团队，我们也欢迎有基因细胞疗法研发，工业转化及临床应用等相关经验的同道加入。
