SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

In my previous research, I have been dedicated to studying cell signaling transduction. In my future studies, I expect to explore a wider range in cell biology and molecular biology. Especially, I take interest in seeking the mechanism and treatment for tumors with the hope that we can understand, control and even harness cancer someday. Besides, I have the ambition to accelerate the development of life science via innovation in biotechnology and bioinformatics. The aim will inspire me all the way to make the science mansion more systematic and well-rounded.
