About me
I trained as a dentist (Bachelor of Oral Medicine, 2014-2019) at Sun Yat-sen University, China, where I also earned a Master of Medicine in Oral Medicine with residency training in prosthodontics (2019-2022). My earlier research focused on bioactive hydrogels for bone regeneration.
I joined the Hagberg Lab as a doctoral student since 2022. In my PhD, I explore how adipocyte lipid handling affects cardiovascular risks, using human unilocular vascularized adipocyte spheroids and adipocyte-specific transgenic mouse models.
