Recently, Hu Zhenzhen, an undergraduate student from SHNU College of Life Sciences, published as the first author, Fluorescence lifetime imaging of sporopollenin: An alternative way to improve taxonomic level of identifying dispersed pollen and spores at Review of Paleobotany and Palynology. It studies how to take advantage of FLIM(Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging) to research on sporopollenin fluorescence lifetime, discovering that FLIM can be utilized as a means of improving the taxonomic level of identifying dispersed pollen and spores. These results might play a key role in studying paleobotary and palynology.
Under the guidance of Xue Jingshi, the assistant researcher from SHNU College of Life Sciences, Hu Zhenzhen also won the support from Mao Limi, a researcher from Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Selected into the Outstanding Innovation Class since she was a sophomore, Hu has great chances to strengthen her experiment skills, research methods, professional expertise, innovative thinking patterns and practice skills by way of instructions from fixed pioneering supervisors and joining core research programs.
