Biography

I was born on 23th, Jan 1974. I had stayed in a small village in Ningxi Province until I went to the Northwestern Agriculture University in 1993, which is the leading agriculture school in the countrys Northwest.  To top off my fruitful undergraduate studies, I continued to study for my master degree in the Chinese Academy of Agricultural science (CAAS) from 1998 to 2001. Here, I studied Classic Swine Fever virus and some characteristics of its multiplication in PK-15 cells.   In order to enhance my academic background, I continued to study for my PhD degree in the Chinese Academy of Agricultural science (CAAS) from 2001 to 2004. Here, I did research on the DNA vaccine against Foot-and-Mouth Disease.  Since 2004, I worked in the Lanzhou veterinary research institute. Two years later, I went to the Temasek life sciences laboratory limited of Singapore as a postdoctor and I transferred to the faculty of engineering, National University of Singapore as a research fellow from 2008. Here, I studied the biology application of upconversion nanoparticles. The project involved the photodynamic therapy of bladder tumor cells and delievery of plasmid by upconversion nanoparticles. Then, I joined in the Lanzhou veterinary research institute in April, 2010 as an associate professor. I was born on 23th, Jan 1974.
