執教課程:

微生物學，本科生，春季學期，專業必修課，主持，北京大學

      白洋實驗室緻力于研究微生物組與宿主的良性互作機制，重點關注非模式微生物。這些非模式微生物在微生物組中占據絕大多數，與宿主形成良性互作關系，對宿主的生長與健康至關重要。然而，我們對他們的了解非常有限。實驗室的研究方向主要包括：

研究方向一：運用微生物組學數據分析、微生物高通量培養和分子遺傳學技術，探索根際微生物組對水稻、拟南芥等植物生長與健康所起的作用，以及其潛在的分子機制。
研究方向二：基于微生物基因組和宏基因組資源，高效挖掘微生物中尚未被發現的暗物質，探索全新的生物學過程及其在實際應用中的潛力。
研究方向三：結合微生物分子遺傳學和生物信息學等方法，開發推動微生物組領域發展的關鍵技術。
