Bio

I obtained my Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Clinical Medicine (M.D. degree), Magna cum laude, at Chengdu University of TCM, China in 2011. During my training, I published two English academic papers. I then enrolled in Central South University of China as a Ph.D. Candidate of Clinical Pharmacology. Fortunately, for the second year of my Ph.D. training, I was sponsored by the China Scholarship Council to do research in the Chen lab at Schepens Eye Research Institute/ Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, affiliate of Harvard Medical School. After earning my Ph.D. degree, I moved to Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, a teaching hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, as a postdoc fellow. My current research focuses on optic nerve regeneration in glaucoma and iPS generation.
