Ph.D. Candidate, Class of 2024
 
I completed both my bachelor's and master's degrees at the School of Medicine, Anhui University of Science and Technology, where my master's research focused on the prevention of postoperative esophageal stricture. Through my years of study and research, I have gained a deep understanding of the complexity and challenges in the medical field.
 
I learned that the Chinese Institutes for Medical Research is a cutting-edge, multidisciplinary research platform with highly skilled scientists and outstanding research teams. The center also collaborates closely with top-tier medical education and research resources in the capital, which fills me with great anticipation and admiration. Such an environment not only fosters scientific innovation but also provides valuable support and resources for my academic growth. 
 
During my PhD studies, I aim to maintain a rigorous and diligent approach to learning, steadily advancing my research, and continuously accumulating knowledge and skills to achieve both theoretical and practical breakthroughs. I am particularly interested in the mechanisms of the immune system's role in diseases such as cancer, specifically how it functions in the occurrence and treatment of these diseases. I hope to gain a deeper understanding of the immune system's responses and regulatory mechanisms in various pathological conditions through basic research. Based on this, I aspire to discover ways to harness the immune system's potential, advancing the application of immunotherapy in disease treatment, and ultimately contributing to human health.
 
Looking ahead, I envision myself, in ten years, having made significant progress in the field of tumor immunology, establishing myself as a specialized researcher in this area. I hope to lead my own research team, continually driving breakthrough advancements and contributing to the forefront of medical research on the international stage. At the same time, I hope that my research will tangibly benefit patients, helping more people overcome disease, and realizing the goal of "academic research serving human health".
