I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Clinical Medicine from University of South China and later obtained a professional master's degree in Surgery from Capital Medical University, under the supervision of Professor Liwei Zhang at Beijing Tiantan Hospital. My master’s research focused on the surgical risk prediction and assessment of brainstem glioma. I chose to pursue my doctoral studies at CIMR for several key reasons. Under the guidance of my mentors, I aim to enhance my clinical skills in skull base and brainstem surgery, thereby laying a solid foundation to become a qualified neurosurgeon. Additionally, I am eager to receive systematic research training to refine my scientific thinking and cultivate the ability to independently design and execute research projects, as well as write academic papers. This comprehensive training will enable me to effectively identify and address clinical challenges through rigorous experimentation in my future studies and clinical practice. During my doctoral studies, I hope to further delve into the surgical risks and outcome assessments of brainstem and thalamic gliomas based on my master’s research, providing more reasonable treatment guidelines for patients and scientific evidence for clinicians in strategizing surgical interventions. Additionally, I plan to explore the integration of brain function imaging with brainstem surgery, utilizing advanced imaging technologies to quantify surgical risks and their impact on neurological function, while researching how to optimize surgical plans based on patients' clinical characteristics and genetic backgrounds. I am also interested in comprehensive strategies for promoting functional recovery and aim to develop personalized rehabilitation plans post-surgery to facilitate complete recovery for patients. In the future, I hope to approach from the perspective of brain function, aiming to accurately identify the risks of postoperative functional impairment based on previous surgical risk assessments, and to take preventive measures for high-risk patients. Moreover, I aspire to develop new technologies to promote functional recovery, further improving the feasibility of surgical treatments for diffuse brainstem and thalamic gliomas. Ten years from now, I envision myself actively engaged in my beloved work as a neurosurgeon at the clinical frontlines while also possessing the potential to become a clinical scientist—integrating research with clinical practice to enhance surgical techniques and advance clinical research.

CIMR boasts a team of outstanding Principal Investigators (PIs) with expertise in fundamental research and state-of-the-art research platforms. My six years of clinical experience have exposed me to a wide range of challenging cases, particularly in inherited metabolic disorders, post-severe infection sequelae, and refractory childhood leukemia. The limitations in current treatment options and the unclear pathogenic mechanisms of these conditions have fueled my passion for delving deeper into their underlying mechanisms. I aspire to become a pediatrician who excels in both basic and clinical research.

I graduated from Sichuan Agricultural University with a Master's degree in animal infectious diseases. I am interested in the development of host immune response and its regulation during pathogenesis. Chinese Institutes for Medical Research has a good research platform and academic atmosphere, where I can greatly improve my research ability. I hope to discover a new signaling pathway that regulate the intrinsic immune response and provide new targets for immunotherapy.

I graduated from Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. For my master's degree, I participated in a joint program between Qinghai Minzu University and Nanjing University. I'm deeply intrigued by diabetes and islet-related mechanisms. My aspiration is to contribute to the optimisation of treatment strategies for diabetic patients through continuous and in-depth study and research. I chose the Chinese Institutes for Medical Research to pursue my PhD because of its strong research atmosphere and rich academic resources. The strong faculty and cutting-edge research projects here convinced me that I can better realise my potential and promote academic development in this environment. I'm interested in exploring how diabetes and pancreatic islets work, especially the relationship between islet cell function and disease.
