Doctor Qi Fan is a postdoctoral researcher at Hobbs Lab in the School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Science, Adelaide University. Doctor Qi completed his PhD in Genetics at Pocock Lab, Monash University, where he investigated the germline regulatory network using C. elegans as an animal model. He performed a high-throughput RNAi screen for genetic regulators controlling the germline stem cell proliferation and differentiation.
Now, Doctor Qi followed Associate Professor Robin Hobbs to explore the germline stem cell development, specifically spermatogonia stem cells in mice. He now works on the African spiny mouse (Acomys) to identify the germline stem cell pool in Acomys and explore its germline regeneration capability. He is also interested in the epigenetic regulation in both spermatogonia stem cell development and cancer research.
