Ph.D. Candidate, Class of 2024

 

I have a bachelor's degree from Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and a master's degree from Wenzhou Medical University. During my master's degree, my research direction was the development of new methods for detection of infectious diseases. The main work is to develop a fast, convenient and efficient monitoring method for trace pathogens of bloodstream infection by transforming bacteriophages into probes using crisper technology and combining them with microfluidic chips.


CIMR as one of the three major sectors of the development of Capital Medical University, before I came in, I tried to apply just because of the recommendation of my senior sister. But in retrospect, I'm glad I made that choice once. CIMR has a strong academic atmosphere, and the communication between teachers and students is particularly open (students are encouraged to question and criticize), which is rare among the colleges and research institutions I have come into contact with. The research group rotation mechanism also gives students the opportunity to learn more about the research direction and choose the topic that suits them. At the same time, the center also has a lot of academic activities, such as the forum and lunch meeting every Wednesday (having a meal with the report teacher) and Journal Club for students every Friday, which can constantly develop and train students' scientific research literacy. I think this is very attractive for students who want to improve their academic ability. One year after the establishment of CIMR, there are many attractive new highlights (high subsidies, adequate resources, open thinking, novel administrative mechanisms, etc.), but there are also many new services and new policies to be formulated and developed. Such as dormitories, rotations, student work, etc. (I don't know if I can say) but I believe that with such open tutors and administrative teachers, it is only a matter of time before these problems are solved. The future teachers and sisters will usher in a better CIMR.


As for the scientific problems to be solved in the future, in a narrow sense, it is what the direction of the supervisor wants to solve; Broadly speaking, I hope to use the ability to discover problems, design experiments and solve problems cultivated during the years of doctoral study to solve current people's health problems. I will work hard and hope that 10 years later, my conscience is clear.
