Education

M.M. in Ophthalmology, Sun Yat-sen University, 2019

M.D. in Clinical Medicine, Zhengzhou University, 2016

He joined the Neuro-ophthalmology Lab as a Ph.D. student in 2021

Research Interest

His research mainly focuses on pathological neovascularization in the ocular fundus and neurodegenerative disease of the retina, especially related to lysosomal dysfunction. He is also interested in exploring the underlying pathogenesis of optic neuritis as well as searching various targets, which are effective in clinical diagnosis and treatment.
