Biography

The childhood mystery behind my grandparents’ “magic” to keep annoying insects away from plantations with used mouthwash sparks my curiosity for life science. As a girl raised in an underdeveloped region in western China, I am the fortunate one of many who continues chasing my dream during my bachelors in Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Being exposed to interdisciplinary subjects ranging from molecular biology, immunology to computational structural biology enables me to appreciate the beauty of the human body. In particular, I am deeply fascinated by the elegant complexity of the physiology and pathology of the nervous system.During my PhD studies in Medical Science, I’ll seek to disclose the intriguing mechanisms underlying neurological disorders, and focus on designating therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases. With my effort, I am also hoping to promote equal access to science and innovation for individuals. It is a great honour for me to be selected as Gates Cambridge Scholar and I am looking forward to bettering society with the world’s bright minds.
