凌晨于2019年在beat365官方网站取得生物学博士学位，导师陈国强教授。在beat365官方网站，凌晨的主要工作为嗜盐菌中的代谢工程改造，利用可再生原料生产生物材料聚羟基脂肪酸酯（PHA）；以及在嗜盐菌中开发CRISPR/Cas9基因编辑工具。2019年至2023年在美国可再生能源国家实验室（National Renewable Energy Laboratory）和美国能源部敏捷生物铸造（Agile BioFoundry）从事博士后研究工作，合作导师Gregg Beckham博士。主要研究方向为利用假单胞菌Pseudomonas putida KT2440实现木质纤维素水解物到高附加值化合物（粘康酸）和生物材料（PHA）的转化，以第一作者在Nat. Commun., Metab. Eng., Biotechnol. Bioeng.等国际主流学术刊物上发表研究论文，并取得中国和美国相关专利。相关专利均实现转化。在beat365官方网站，凌晨实验室将聚焦两个研究领域：1）在工业微生物（比如盐单胞菌，假单胞菌，和发酵单胞菌）中构建一碳代谢，实现利用甲醇，甲酸和CO2作为原料来合成化合物；2）在微生物中利用代谢工程等合成生物学方法，将可再生原料转化为各类化合物，比如PHA，乙醇和可再生航空燃料。
Dr. Chen Ling received his PhD from Tsinghua University in 2019, under the supervision by Prof. Guo-Qiang Chen. At Tsinghua, Chen mainly worked on metabolic engineering and developing CRISPR/Cas9-related tools in Halomonas sp., to produce biomaterial polyhydroxyalknoates (PHAs). He joined National Renewable Energy Laboratory (USA) as a postdoctoral researcher in 2019. At NREL, Chen worked with Dr. Gregg Beckham on Agile BioFoundry projects, to produce value-added compounds and performance advantaged materials in Pseudomonas putida from lignocellulose hydrolysates. Chen has 8 peer-reviewed publications, and he is among the inventors lists of both China and US patents relating to applied biotechnology. The patents he contributed to have both been licensed to industrial partners. Based on his experience, the Ling Lab will focus on two research areas at Xiamen University: 1) Engineering the one carbon metabolism into industrial relevant bacterial strains (Halomonas sp., Pseudomonas sp., and Zymomonas mobilis), to achieve biochemicals production from methanol, formic acid, and CO2; 2) Metabolic engineering of microbes to efficiently utilize renewable carbon resources, to produce sustainable bioproducts, including PHA, ethanol, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
