I hold a PhD in Medical Virology from Wuhan University, China, completed as a joint program with the University of Hong Kong. In late 2010, I immigrated to Australia and began working in Professor Eric Gowans’ HCV laboratory (2011–2014). Since 2015, I have been a member of Professor Michael Brown’s Translational Oncology laboratory, focusing on cancer immunotherapy research. I am an enthusiastic scientist with over 22 years of laboratory experience, 40 peer-reviewed publications, more than 1,200 citations, and an H-index of 18.

My research interests broadly include persistent viral infections, immunology, cancer immunotherapy, and aging biology. My current research primarily focuses on CAR-T therapy. I also have a strong interest in theoretical biology and have proposed an aging hypothesis known as the “np theory.”
