Ph.D. Candidate, Class of 2024

 

I completed my undergraduate studies at Jinan University and my master's degree at Sichuan University West China School of Clinical Medicine, focusing on the impact of novel hydrogels on flap survival and scar-related research. During my master's program, I honed my clinical skills as a specialized surgical (burns/plastic surgery) doctor and accumulated extensive research experience, which allowed me to master essential knowledge and techniques in the fields of burns and plastic surgery while cultivating a compassionate medical ethos.

 

I chose to pursue my PhD at the CIMR because it offers an outstanding research platform, advanced equipment, and a team of experienced mentors across various fields. I believe this environment will provide me with a broader research perspective and deeper research opportunities. My research interests include investigating the mechanisms of melanoma pathogenesis and exploring the microenvironment of chronic wounds and radiation ulcers, with the aim of unveiling their biological characteristics and potential therapeutic targets.

 

In the future, I hope to elucidate the mechanisms underlying malignant melanoma, identify early warning biomarkers, and develop more effective treatment strategies. Additionally, I am dedicated to improving the prognosis of patients with chronic wounds and radiation ulcers by promoting wound healing through microenvironment modulation. Ten years from now, I aspire to be an expert in the fields of melanoma and chronic wound research, possessing multiple clinically translatable research outcomes that drive progress in related areas. Ultimately, I aim to lead an excellent research and clinical team to provide new solutions for global plastic surgery-related diseases, particularly in wound healing and cancer treatment.
