Jingjing Shen is currently a Ph.D. student at the College of Food Science and Engineering, Ocean University of China, under the instruction of Prof. Yaoguang Chang. Her research focuses on the gene-mining and characterization of glycoside hydrolases. She discovered and characterized the first member of GH168 [1] and GH174 families [2], and contributed to the studies related to members of the following families:

• GH16: κ-carrageenase Cgk16A [3]
• GH82: ι-carrageenase Cgi82A [4]
• GH168: endo-1,3-fucanase Fun168A [1]
• GH174: endo-1,3-fucanase Fun174A [2]
