主要研究内容：抑菌微生物资源开发、代谢产物鉴定与抑菌机理研究
　　镰刀菌和黄曲霉菌是小麦、玉米和花生等作物上的重要病害，侵染后不仅导致严重的作物损失，还可产生对人体有毒害作用的镰刀菌毒素和强致癌性的黄曲霉毒素，在世界范围的粮食安全领域饱受诟病。目前对两种病原菌及毒素的控制以化学防治为主，长期使用易造成环境破坏，病原菌抗药性增强，储藏期防治还可引起农药残留，不利于生态平衡、粮食安全与病害的科学防控。自然界中微生物资源丰富，研究中从不同生态龛位筛选抑菌微生物，运用基因组学、代谢组学、蛋白组学以及文库构建等手段确定抑菌物质及其编码基因，解析其抑菌机理，通过基因克隆等手段增强其抑菌作用，为国内外赤霉病和黄曲霉的长期防控提供科学有效的手段，同时对镰刀菌毒素和黄曲霉毒素的减持、食品安全与人类健康具有重要意义。
