Higher Degree by Research Candidate
School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences
College of Health
I am a PhD candidate in medicine with expertise in the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying immune-mediated pathology. My research focuses on understanding how our immune systems can recognise and respond to cancer, with a view towards developing new immunotherapies for patients with solid tumours.
I am honoured to be awarded a Commonwealth funded Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) scholarship to support my PhD research at Adelaide University, Australia.
I was also awarded the ANSO (Alliance of International Science Organizations) scholarship for Young Talents, which supported my postgraduate studies at University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, China.
