Bio

I obtained my bachelor and master degrees of medicine in Harbin Medical University and moved to University of Ottawa in 2017. I am currently working with Dr. Laurie Chan using hESCs to look at the developmental toxicity of methylmercury and chemical mixtures.

Research project

Evaluating and comparing the effects of methylmercury and northern contaminant mixture on human embryonic stem cells.
Understanding the effects of methylmercury on endodermal development.
