I was awarded the PhD in Cardiovascular Epidemiology & Genetic Epidemiology at Peking Union Medical College and Tsinghua University in 2009, before working as a Statistician for an environmental epidemiology project at Division of Population Health Sciences and Education, St George’s University of London. I joined the Institute of Metabolic Science, Cambridge University Hospitals as an Epidemiologist for diabetes integrated care project in 2011. I took up my current position as a Research Associate in Chronic Disease Surveillance in June 2013.
