I got my Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) in Cell Biology from Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. My graduated study is mainly on exploring the mechanism of angiogenesis and anti-angiogenesis antibody therapy associated with chronic inflammatory diseases and cancer. I am experienced in using molecular and cellular biological methods as well as mouse disease models to explore the pathological mechanisms of diseases and to screen for pharmaceutical compounds. In recent years, my research interest focuses on exploring the role of lipid homeostasis in neurodegeneration diseases. I am now studying on the function of ApoE and ABC transporters in the pathological process of neuronopathic Gaucher disease (nGD), as well as GD1 associated Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia, using mouse models and iPSCs (induced pluripotent stem cells).
