Brief Description of Research Interest:
 

As a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Michigan, I am dedicated to pioneering research endeavors aimed at advancing therapeutic strategies for prostate cancer. Collaborating within a multidisciplinary team of esteemed researchers, clinicians, and stakeholders, my focus lies in elucidating novel therapeutic modalities to address the complexities of this disease and enhance patient outcomes. With a robust background in molecular biology, therapeutics, and preclinical drug screening, complemented by my medical doctor institutional license and extensive experience as a freelance translator, I bring a diverse skill set to the table. My doctoral studies in Oncology at Jilin University have equipped me with a profound understanding of cancer epigenetics, evidenced by numerous publications and accolades. Eager to forge collaborations with fellow experts in the field, I am committed to contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge and the improvement of patient care within the realm of prostate cancer research.
