孟文翔,博士,研究员,博士生导师
 
        1995年北京中医药大学学士;2002年日本大阪大学医学博士;2002-2004在三重大学从事博士后研究。2004-2010年任日本理化学研究所发生再生综合研究中心研究员。2010年加入中国科学院遗传与发育生物学研究所。


        主要研究方向为非中心体微管在细胞、个体发育以及疾病中的功能。
 
        微管包括中心体微管和非中心体微管,在细胞迁移、细胞分裂及囊泡运输等诸多生物学过程中发挥重要作用。在既往研究中,我们首次发现了非中心体微管负端结合蛋白,并命名为Nezha(Cell. 2008)。这个发现,是展开对非中心体研究的一个非常重要的切入点。我们以揭开非中心体微管的功能和调控机理为主要目标,目前建立了Nezha和PLEKHA7基因敲除小鼠模型,通过细胞生物学、生化学手法以及分子成像技术研究其在发生发育以及神经系统中的功能。我们还通过大规模质量分析技术发现并鉴定了一些与Nezha相互作用,可能参与非中心体微管的聚合和锚定的蛋白质。我们正在进一步研究这些蛋白分子在细胞内的功能,并建立基因敲除小鼠模型,深入探究它们在发生发育过程中的作用。
