Originally from Qingdao, China, I graduated from Oberlin College in Ohio with my undergraduate degree in Biology and Biochemistry. I obtained my Master’s degree in Biotechnology at Columbia and worked as a research technician under Dr. Dieter Egli at CUIMC, where I mainly studied genome instability in early-stage mammalian embryos. I have a broad interest in developmental biology, genome instability, and genomics in general. I look forward to getting exposed to all the different kinds of exciting research topics that are going on at Columbia!
