Professional Experience
In 2011, I completed my M.D. training in the Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Anesthesiology & Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Anesthesia and Analgesia Application Technology at Xuzhou Medical College, under the instruction of my advisor, Professor Jun-li Cao. I received my Ph.D. degree from China Medical University in 2014, where I conducted my doctoral research under the instruction of Professors Jun-li Cao and Li-cai Zhang. My training equipped me with a range of techniques, including the establishment of acute and chronic pain models, molecular detection, and behavioral observations. Specifically, I mastered intradermal and intrathecal injections to create acute pain models, as well as chronic constrictive injury (CCI) and spared nerve injury (SNI) models to mimic chronic neuropathic pain in mice. I am proficient in pain-related behavior tests, including thermal withdrawal latency with a plantar analgesia meter and mechanical withdrawal threshold with an electronic Von Frey device. Additionally, I have experience detecting targeted proteins using Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. My current research at China Medical University focuses on pain signal transduction and its regulation. My Ph.D. dissertation examined the contribution of the Cerebrospinal Fluid-Contacting Nucleus (CFCN) to pain. I employ a systematic research strategy to study the CFCN’s role in pain, from behavioral phenomena to molecular mechanisms and back to the behavioral level. In 2015, I joined Professor Chaudhury’s team at NYUAD as a Postdoctoral Associate. My current research interests involve the neurophysiology of circadian/sleep rhythms and depression. I use a multidisciplinary approach combining rodent behavioral models of depression, optogenetics, in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology, viral tracing, pharmacological methods, and imaging techniques to investigate the functional changes in neural circuits connecting the brain’s circadian clock to regions associated with mood disorders such as depression. Utilizing these techniques, I have completed several peer-reviewed publications with my colleagues.
