個人簡介
劉東實驗室現有的兩個研究主題是：1）比較器官發育與再生的異同；2）建立人類疾病的動物模型。劉東博士長期從事硬骨魚類生物學研究，涉足發育、分子遺傳學（斑馬魚和日本青鳉），分子內分泌學（太平洋鮭鱒），轉基因（鯉科魚）、基因編輯技術（斑馬魚）等領域。我們主要是用模式動物斑馬魚研究動感毛細胞（mechanosensory hair cells）發育及其損傷-再生機制，并在建立神經性疾病模型基礎上研發治療性或預防性藥物。此外，運用線蟲的優勢，我們還在探索研究器官發育與再生的新思路、新方法。
研究領域
1. 斑馬魚內耳（外周神經系統器官）的發育機制
2. 斑馬魚側線毛細胞損傷/再生機制
3. 構建人類神經性疾病的斑馬魚模型，并進行治療性先導化合物的篩選，靶標確定及作用機理研究
4. 基因組編輯技術研發
具體研究內容
1. 斑馬魚內耳的發育：通過遺傳學和條件性調控基因表達等手段，已初步揭開從前基板區（一種在體干細胞群）到內耳細胞命運獲得的發育途徑,詮釋內耳功能細胞(內耳神經元和動感受體毛細胞)命運決定和維持的調控網絡
2. 斑馬魚側線毛細胞損傷/再生：位于斑馬魚體表的側線神經丘是毛細胞損傷/再生研究的好模型。通過突變體篩選，活體細胞分選和基因表達調控技術，已初步確定信號通路，轉錄因子和死亡程序與毛細胞再生現象間的關聯性。
3. 人類疾病的斑馬魚模型：已建立耳聾，多動癥和帕金森模型，并初選治療性先導化合物。
4. 新技術、新方向：已開發出鑒定有功能非蛋白編碼RNA，CRISPR/Cas9 基因編輯，dCas9 融合系統，亞細胞定位等技術；生殖細胞與體細胞性別發育的關聯研究。
