Ph.D. Candidate, Class of 2024

I completed both my bachelor's and master's degrees in Stomatology at Sun Yat-sen University, following a 5+3 academic system. During my master's program, I underwent Standardized Residents Training at Hospital of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University, where I also engaged in research focused on the physicochemical properties of dental restorative materials.

After graduation, I worked as a dentist in oral diagnosis and treatment. Through this experience, I deeply felt the contradiction between patients' pursuit of health and the limitations of existing medical practices. This conflict reignited my passion for scientific research, prompting me to leave my clinical position and pursue a Ph.D. at CIMR. I hope to strengthen the connection between clinical and fundamental research to facilitate the translation of scientific discoveries into practical applications, ultimately benefiting more patients.

I am particularly interested in biochemistry and molecular biology, as they form a crucial foundation of life sciences. In the future, I aim to delve into the mechanisms of interactions among different molecular pathways during tumor onset, progression, and prognosis, seeking new breakthroughs for clinical cancer treatment. Throughout my studies at CIMR, I will strive to enhance my research skills and critical thinking. Regardless of my future career path, I will remain committed to the oath I took as a medical student: to dedicate my life to the health and well-being of humanity.
