Main research directions and interests
We focus on the macroevolution of marine larvae and the developmental regulation of molluscan life cycle. Relevant research work has been published in journals such as Nature Ecology & Evolution, Molecular Biology & Evolution and Cell Discovery. Our important breakthrough on the evolution of marine larvae has been selected as one of the Top 10 scientific and technological advances by Chinese Society for Oceanology and Limnology. In 2020, Jing Wang received the first Chinese Zoological Society's Changlong Award.
