Profile:

I joined the SUNY Upstate PhD program in 2021. Prior to that, I completed my Bachelor's degree in Life Science at Central South University and my Master's degree in Biology at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. My research interests lie at investigating the molecular mechanisms of schizophrenia using genetics and bioinformatics methods. I am conducting my PhD dissertation research in Dr. Chunyu Liu's lab, where I am studying how genetic regulation of variances in transcription and translation contributes to schizophrenia risk. Successful completion of this project will allow us to identify schizophrenia risk loci and advance the development of novel and more effective treatments for schizophrenia.
