The Introduction of College of Life Sciences and Oceanography of Shenzhen University
The College of Life Sciences and Oceanography of Shenzhen University originated from the Laboratory of Life Sciences founded in 1989. In 1997, the Department of Bioengineering was established. In 2002, the College of Life Sciences (CLS) was established, and Academician Jiazan Ni of the Chinese Academy of Sciences served as the first dean. In June 2015, CLS was renamed as College of Life Sciences and Oceanography (CLSO).
CLSO consists of world renowned and well-reputed faculties, including academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences. CLSO is comprised of five undergraduate majors, including Biotechnology, Biological sciences, Biological sciences (normal), Marine sciences, and Biological engineering. Among them, Biotechnology is a top-ranked and characteristic specialty in Guangdong Province. Biosciences is a characteristic major in Guangdong Province. CLSO also consists of two master's degree authorization locations of primary discipline, including biology, ecology, and one doctoral degree authorization location of primary discipline in biology. In CLSO, there are excellent equipments serving for teaching and research, with a total value of 180 million RMB. In addition, there are multiple high-level platforms as well as key laboratories, including three key research platforms of Guangdong Province (Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory for Plant Epigenetics, Guangdong Technology Research Center for Marine Algae Bioengineering, Biological Science Teaching Experimental Center), three Shenzhen key laboratories (Shenzhen Key Laboratory of Microbial Genetic Engineering, Shenzhen Key Laboratory of Marine Bioresource and Eco-environmental Science, Shenzhen Engineering Laboratory for Marine Algal Biotechnology), nine university-level institutes (centers), and public technology platforms for proteomics, genomics, structural biology, and molecular and cell biology.
CLSO is dedicated to scientific research and innovation. Over the past 3 years, the college undertook 189 scientific research projects with a total funding of nearly 160 million RMB, including two key research and development plans of the Ministry of Science and Technology, 51 national natural science fund projects (including one major research plan and one major cultivation project). There are two provincial and ministerial level scientific and technological achievement awards, 58 national invention patent authorization obtained, and 331 SCI-indexed papers published. In 2019, a full research article was published in Nature with Shenzhen University as the first affiliation for the first time since the establishment of Shenzhen University.
CLSO aims at cultivating innovative and entrepreneurial students with fruitful results There are "Innovation Experiment Class", "Entrepreneurship Practice Class" and "Ocean Elite Class", as well as the "3+1+1" joint training project with Auckland University of Technology and Michigan Technological University. CLSO also cooperated with over 60 biotechnology-related enterprises in Shenzhen to implement the "Industry-University-Research" integrated talent training program. Our students have achieved outstanding results in international and domestic competition, including 11 international awards, 24 national awards and 21 provincial awards in the six major domestic and international discipline and skill competitions. The students have also won the highest prize of the "Challenge Cup" National College Students Extracurricular Science and Technology Competition, and some were selected as the "Xiaoping Technology Innovation Team". The iGEM (International Genetic Engineering Machine Competition) team won five gold and one bronze medals, three individual awards and five individual nominations. In 2018, the iGEM team won the third place in the undergraduate group in the world, which was the best achievement among the Asian college competition teams that year.
Adhering to the philosophy of "Study the origin of life, investigate the source of ocean, build the way of science, and cultivate the talents for innovation ", CLSO cultivates high-quality talents for innovation and entrepreneurship with the spirit of reform and innovation.

Xie Ning, Associate Professor, Deputy dean of college of life science and Oceanography. He has researched in mycology for 16 years. His research is mainly in the following two directions. 1. Characterization of the mechanism of the fruiting bodies development in a filamentous fungus Podospora anserina.The fruiting body is an important sexual reproduction organ for fungi.The regulation mechanism of fruiting body formation has not been completely studied. We used different methods to study the regulation mechanism of fruiting body development in a model filamentous fungus Podospora anserina. 2. Regulation mechanism of cellulase expression in filamentous fungi.Transformation of plant biomass into biofuels by fungi may supply environmentally friendly alternative biological sources of energy.Cellulase play a key role in the process of lignocellulose degradation and they are also involved in growth and development in fungi.We used different methods to study and regulate the cellulase expression in different kind of filamentous fungi .

Ph. D, Zhejiang University, Biochemical Engineering (1997). Postdoc, the HongKong Polytech University (2001). We are interested in screening new cellulase and auxiliary active proteins for lignin cellulose and improving their productivity for second generation biorefinery applications. We have established efficient protein expression systems in Trichoderma reesei. Using these expression systems, we modulated the expression levels of the cellulase transcription factors such as XyrI, CreI, Ace I, etc., in T. reesei through RNA interference, gene knockout, or over expression, and obtained recombinant T. reesei strains with elevated cellulase productivity. We have screened and characterized a number of new cellulases and lytic polysacchride monooxidases through expressing the genes in the T. reesei expression systems and purifiing the recombinant proteins. Now we are working on high througput assay methods for lytic polysacchride monooxidase and directed evolution of these enzymes.
