Ph.D. Candidate, Class of 2024

I graduated from Xinxiang Medical University with a bachelor's degree in Clinical Medicine (Physician Education and Training Programme of Excellence). Subsequently, I pursued and obtained my master's degree in Pathology at Chongqing Medical University. During my postgraduate studies, I immersed myself in scientific research at the Center for Molecular Medicine and Oncology Research, focusing on identifying novel cancer biomarkers and investigating their role in cancer pathogenesis. Additionally, I served as a research assistant at the Brain and Intelligence Research Key Laboratory of the Chongqing Education Commission, affiliated to the Third Military Medical University.

The Chinese Institutes for Medical Research (CIMR), Beijing is dedicated to advancing medical science and improving human health through groundbreaking biomedical research. CIMR is committed to strengthening the innovation and translational capabilities of medical science and raising the standards of disease diagnosis and treatment. The Institute brings together a community of world-class scientists and their research teams, and collaborates closely with Beijing's premier medical education and scientific research resources. Together, we foster a multidisciplinary research environment that nurtures a new paradigm of scientific exploration, drives the integration of medicine, education, research, and industry, and cultivates top-tier talent poised to lead in the era of medical innovation. I am deeply honored to continue my scientific exploration on this prestigious platform.

The advent of high-throughput sequencing, single-cell sequencing, and bioinformatics has revolutionized our understanding of the immune system's intricate network, shedding light on the interactions among immune cells and the mechanisms underlying immune regulation. These advancements hold immense potential for scientific discovery and for advancing human health and disease management. In particular, cancer therapy remains a formidable challenge, with the complexity of tumor immune microenvironments and the quest for novel immunotherapeutic targets at the forefront. I aim to leverage single-cell transcriptome sequencing to map cellular dynamics within tumor microenvironments, uncovering new subsets of macrophages and deepening our understanding of these complex systems. This work is essential for developing innovative immunotherapeutic strategies. Furthermore, I am eager to explore the immune system's pivotal role in various disease pathogeneses and treatments, and to contribute to the discovery of groundbreaking therapeutic approaches.

I aspire to be a catalyst for discovery, driven by a spirit of exploration and a commitment to making a tangible impact through research. I will maintain an unwavering curiosity and inquisitiveness, coupled with a rigorous and meticulous approach to my work. A decade from now, I envision myself as a respected immunology researcher, having achieved significant milestones, tackling key scientific questions, and seeing my research findings translated into clinical practice, thereby contributing positively to the fields of life sciences and clinical medicine. I also hope to become an exemplary mentor, guiding and inspiring a new generation of scientists to pursue their academic aspirations with passion and dedication. Above all, I will continue to cherish life's passions and the joy of unraveling life's mysteries, with enduring vigor and love in my heart.

From the steady dawn of each day, small yet significant strides, like the quiet accumulation of morning dew, will persist, and from this perseverance, brilliance and radiance shall emerge.
