Research Assistant Professor |School of Life Sciences, Department of Neuroscience
I graduated from Sichuan University in 2013 for bachelor's degree and Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School for Ph.D. degree in 2019. I have been engaged in research on mechanisms of neurological disorders such as autism and schizophrenia for about 10 years. I have published 8 SCI papers in the field of neuroscience as corresponding author or first author. In addition, I have received two fundings including National Foundation of China-Youth Project and Guangdong Regional Joint Fund-Youth Project. My current research interests are to improve social deficits in autism mouse model using different methods including 40 Hz light flicker and gene intervention.
