I identified a metabolic enzyme GAPDH was as one of the host components of the cucumber necrosis virus replicase. Moreover, I proposed a novel role for GAPDH, a well-known metabolic enzyme, is able to enhance the RNA replication by its selective RNA-bind ability. Plant viruses with plus-stranded RNA genomes are not only important pathogens of crop plants, but they also serve as excellent model systems to study fundamental aspects of virus replication with useful i

I pioneered the research to establish the novel hepatocyte-like cells for multiplication hepatitis B virus (DNA virus). The University of Texas Medical Branch has filed an official worldwide patent application on 2004 for my transdifferentiated hepatocytes investigation because of the potential significance of antiviral area.
