Longjun Pu

Longjun Pu is a Research Fellow at the Department of Molecular Biology, Umeå University. His work focuses on molecular and genetic mechanisms in model organisms like C. elegans and Ciona, particularly in sensory responses, hypoxia adaptation, and GPCR signaling.

Research Interests:

• Genetic analysis of potassium channels (e.g., SHK-1) in stress and pathogen resistance.
• Epigenetic regulation in cancer, including mitoepigenetics.
• CRISPR/Cas9 tools for gene editing in marine and nematode models.
• Behavioral neuroscience in C. elegans under hypoxia and chemosensory stressors.

Publication Trends: Recent work spans C. elegans behavioral genetics, GPCR signaling networks, and mitoepigenetic cancer research, with a focus on CRISPR-based methodologies and stress response pathways.
