英文介绍:
After obtaining PhD degree in 2003 from Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, I started his first postdoctoral training at University of Pennsylvania where I focused on miRNA regulation of stem cells in germ line. Since 2006 I had been working on miRNA regulation of breast cancer at Thomas Jefferson University Kimmel Cancer center where I finished the second postdoctoral training followed by a faculty appointment in the track of research assistant professor. In 2012, I joined Tongji University Shanghai East Hospital as a full professor and PI, focusing on non-coding RNA regulation of mammary gland tumorigenesis, cancer stem cell and chemo-resistance.
My research work has generated publications in Cell, Nature communications, PNAS, Journal of Cell Biology, American Journal of Pathology, et al. My current research is supported by Natural Science Foundation of China(NSFC), National Basic Research Program of China (973) and Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality.
