Prof. Dong trained at McMaster University (PhD), was a Banting Fellow at Harvard, and held a Canada Research Chair at the University of Calgary before moving to SusTech.
I would like to welcome our first Editor in China, Tao Dong, to JB! Dr. Dong @SusTech, investigates mechanisms of bacterial adaptation & survival. His group combines genetics, microbiology, & mol bio to understand bacterial physiology & host–pathogen interactions. Welcome!

Our first post on Bluesky! Excited to highlight some #CryoET work from Qingtao Shen's lab at SUSTech looking at #mitochondria structures in glioblastoma cells with #GlaciosCryoTEM. Read their paper here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Wen Zhou previously led research in our group on evolution of the DNA-binding sites that control human cGAS activation. Beautiful work from his own lab at SUSTech University now extends similar insights to evolution of TREX1 regulation:

An ABSOLUTELY spectacular structure by the Xia group at SUSTECH. Haiping & his team have been working on enveloping the metal with a fully conjugated carbon ring for over a decade, and they finally succeeded! This warms my reformed metallabenzene chemist's heart!

Researchers at CityU HK & SUSTech have created a tofu‑brine aqueous battery that can cycle 120k+ times, is neutral, non‑flammable and non‑toxic. It could replace Li‑ion in grid‑storage, I'm sure there are many jokes in this already.

Still beautiful in my opinion. I prefer the archery range to the running track though 😆. Buildings go up in Shenzhen so fast that campus looks different every year though, we say everything here is 'Shenzhen speed' (extremely fast).

When I started at SUSTech nobody really knew what 'biogeochemistry' was, so we started giving lunchtime talks about our research topics. These are now so popular we have to ticket them 😅. I'm sure the free pizza helps motivate interest 😆 🌊

Academics often have to move a lot. 🏠✈️📚
Here's my journey of places i lived for my school and career path: Burnaby, Canada (BA from SFU); Edmonton, Canada (MA, PhD from UofA); Jena, Germany (Postdoc at MPG); Shenzhen, China (Assistant Prof at SUSTech).
Started from the west now I'm east.

A lovely day at SUSTech yesterday. After 3 years of hard work, my first student passed her viva with commendations from all 3 examiners 🥂 When Jiajia started it was just the two of us 😅
