I am originally from Qingdao, China, and have lived in Iowa City since 2015. I am a Biomedical Sciences major on the pre-medicine track at the University of Iowa.

Although I recently joined the Yang Laboratory, I have a strong interest in cancer biology and medicine. Through my research on endometrial cancer, I hope to better understand the biological mechanisms that drive cancer development and progression and explore how this knowledge can be translated into more effective treatments.

I am excited to expand my laboratory skills, learn a wide range of research techniques, and contribute to projects aimed at improving outcomes for patients with cancer. My experiences in the Yang Laboratory are helping me prepare for a future career in medicine while deepening my appreciation for translational cancer research.
