A. Personal Statement
My long-standing research interests are in the pathogenesis of congenital disease associated with abnormal development of neural crest cells, such as Hirschsprung’s disease and congenital heart disease. I am a junior research scientist within Prof. Ou Sha’s laboratory at Shenzhen University. Our lab is focusing on the role of the extracellular matrix during the development of neural crest cells. I have published five first author/co-first author papers in professional, peer-reviewed journals including Gastroenterology, Developmental Biology and Development.
