The overall mission of our team is to study the public policies and basic theories, common technologies for risk monitoring and warning, and risk prevention and control of animal biosafety. Our interests focus on:

(1) Research on Biosafety Risk Warning, Prevention and Control of Emerging and Re-Emerging Diseases: Taking African swine fever (ASF) and other swine emerging viral diseases as research objects, we conduct research on biosafety public policies, basic theories, risk monitoring and warning techniques, development of prevention and control products. We aim to establish a full chain risk management system for the emerging and re-emerging swine diseases such as ASF.

(2) Research on Antimicrobial Resistance and biological control of animal Pathogens: We take Enterobacter, Acinetobacter, Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, and other important zoonotic microorganisms as objects to study how to control their antimicrobial resistance within One Health Framework, to establish biosafety system in the national meat, poultry & egg products system. We also carry out the national-scale risk analysis of antimicrobial resistance in farms and environments to establish early warning systems and set up “early response" research and development platform including antibiotic residue reduction, small molecule drug, endolysins, antimicrobial peptides, biocontrol bacteria, bio-fermentation, and probiotics. We also engage in the research on agricultural carbon sequestration and emission reduction.

(3) Research on Biosafety Risk Warning, Prevention and Control of Emerging Avian Viral Diseases: Taking avian reovirus disease, avian influenza, avian adenovirus disease and other avian emerging viral diseases as research objects, we conduct research on biosafety public policies, basic theories, risk monitoring and warning techniques, and prevention and control products for avian diseases. We also conduct epidemiological monitoring at wild-bird migration monitoring stations, chicken farms, and duck breeding farms. We aim to establish a full chain management system for biosafety risk prevention and control of "wild bird-waterfowl -poultry".

(4) Research on biosafety risk prevention and control of high-risk zoonotic diseases: Taking zoonotic diseases such as porcine Nipah virus infection, Swine influenza, and giardiasis as research objects, we conduct research on disease risk assessment, development of monitoring and warning techniques, and development of disease prevention and control products. We aim to achieve "early detection, early warning, and early response" for the potential infections. These techniques and products could be further applied in different scenarios such as entry and exit ports, large-scale pig farms, water sources, urban and rural areas.
