About Me
After obtaining my Ph.D. from The Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing China, I worked with Dr. Greg Longmore at Washington University where we studied the role of focal adhesion proteins in three-dimensional cell motility. I joined the Huang lab in July 2013. My current research is focused on understanding how CD4 and CD8 T cell differentially traffic in vivo. Outside of work, I practice acupuncture and have a talent for broadcasting.
