Tong Zhou is a PhD candidate. Her research focuses on the intersection of environmental engineering and bacterial epigenetics. She investigates the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms of bacteria under the exposure of environmental contaminants. By integrating genetic engineering and multi-omics approaches, she deciphers the molecular responses of microorganisms to environmental pollution and explores their potential for environmental bioremediation. Her work aims to clarify the interaction mechanisms between pollutants and microbes, providing theoretical support and technical strategies for the bioremediation of contaminated environments.
