Let’s get started! Tell us an interesting fact about yourself...
I was born and raised on the campus of Beijing College of Mechanical Engineering, a university where my parents worked in Beijing, China. When I was young, I saw various machines and model blocks in the teaching classrooms and the workshops, and I played with these just like "Lego". I hoped at that age that I could be an engineer when I grew up so that I could play with them all the time. When the time came for me to choose what to study at university, bioengineering was just beginning to become popular. The Chinese pioneer of cloning, Prof Tong, Di-Zhou, had published his first result of bioengineering, a cloned fish, which influenced me so much. So I chose to learn “Engineering” in biology, and "play” with gene "Lego" to create and change lives. Since then, my career has been devoted to life sciences. I am so grateful I made it my career, which has given me opportunities to fight diseases like MS.
