• Education
  • B.S. in Biology, University of Science and Technology of China (1997)
  • M.S. in Molecular Biology, Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Science (2000)
  • Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Pennsylvania State University (2006)

Research interests focus on flow cytometry, immunophenotyping, and cell sorting, with applications in phagocytosis, apoptosis, and HIV/SIV dynamics. Their work spans cell biology, immunology, and genomic regulation.

Publications highlight contributions to understanding dendritic cell regulation, cannabinoid effects on immunity, and non-coding RNA dynamics in pluripotency and cancer. Collaborations include studies on opioid-induced immune changes in SIV models.

Labs/Teams: Leads the Flow Cytometry Shared Service at University of Maryland, previously established similar facilities at Temple University.
