Profile

After earning my Bachelor of Clinical Medicine, I began my cancer research career during my master’s studies at Peking University, China. I earned my PhD in Human Biomedicine at the Max Planck Institute, Germany, focusing on multiplexed imaging for lung cancer biomarker identification and tumor microenvironment reprogramming. In 2021, I joined Prof. Matthias Mann’s group at the University of Copenhagen as a postdoctoral researcher, where I integrated multiplexed imaging with Deep Visual Proteomics (mipDVP) to advance spatial proteomics and resolve tumor–immune interactions at single-cell resolution. Since 2024, I have served as Assistant Professor in Spatial Proteomics at Aarhus University under the mentorship of Prof. Robert A. Fenton, applying mipDVP to drive precision medicine research and translate spatial proteomics insights into clinical applications. I am set to establish my independent research group in Denmark, supported by a prestigious international fellowship. I have authored 21 publications, including 10 as first author and 3 as corresponding author. I am committed to community leadership, serving as an Ambassador for the European Association for Cancer Research and peer reviewing for eight journals. My research has been recognized with 16 international awards, including the Emerging Technologies Funding Award.

Research

My research focuses on applying spatial proteomics to improve precision approaches in oncology and dermatology.
