PhD Student
Virginia Commonwealth University
I am presently in my fourth year as a PhD candidate at Virginia Commonwealth University. In 2017, I received my bachelor's degree in pharmaceutical sciences from Peking University, and after finishing my master's degree at Peking University studying novel drug delivery systems, I moved to the United States to pursue a PhD under the guidance of Dr. Guizhi Zhu at VCU. During my PhD training, I am working on developing nucleic acid drug and its delivery system as cancer immunotherapeutics, with a focus on cGAS-STING activation as a potential target .
