Mentors who have altered my life: My PhD advisor, Dr. Ya Cao, stimulated my enthusiasm for biomedical research, leading me to the scientific world of cancer. My postdoc supervisor, Dr. Matthew D. Scharff, who trained me comprehensively about B cell / Antibody Immunology, taught me how to use the most advanced technologies to do science rigorously.
In my time off, I enjoy: Cooking and baking, traveling with families and friends.
What profession, other than your own, would you enjoy? I would like to have my own bookstore with a dessert house.
