I earned my Ph.D. from the Southern University of Science and Technology in June 2023 and am currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the laboratory of William Robinson, within the Division of Immunology & Rheumatology of Stanford University. I have a medical background and gained specialized training in the biomedical research of the musculoskeletal system. My research is focused on uncovering the pathophysiological mechanisms behind degenerative and autoimmune musculoskeletal diseases, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, intervertebral disc degeneration, and osteoporosis. My contributions in this field have been acknowledged through several publications in renowned journals including Nature Aging, Bone Research, Aging and Disease, and Aging Cell. Particularly, my studies on the crucial role of Kindlin-2 in osteoarthritis initiation and progression earned me the Felix Bronner Young Investigator Award from the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research. Currently, I lead several research projects, leveraging cutting-edge approaches like single-cell immune profiling, antibody-antigen microarray, and transgenic animal models. My goal is to deepen our understanding of these complex diseases and to discover novel therapeutic targets for clinical treatments.
